Answer 1

allright mate, you need to basically do what you said, If you go from Ipswich - peterborough the trains are every two hours from 08:03,10:03 etc, then change at Peterborough, this trip is usually arounf an hour and a half. Then at Peterborough you can catch a National Express service which are pretty frequent (about 2 an hour) direct to York which will also take about 1 hour and half.

Safe Trip!

Answer 2

The journey via Peterborough can take from between 2hr30 and 3hr30, depending on how long your have to wait for the connection at Peterborough - the trains from East Anglia don't appear to make very good connection with the East Coast trains. However, travelling this way is much better than travelling via London which takes at least 4 hours. Look at www.thetrainline.com for more information
