Due to utility works & carriageway resurfacing (associated with the Bellway Homes development at Kingsfleet Park) taking place on High Road in the Trimleys from Monday 20th January to Friday 31st January - the road will be closed.

This will affect our public service 73, 75 & 77 routes, as well as school/college services 975, 978 & O2. Suffolk County Council will however be funding a shuttle bus service to cover the affected section of route during the main part of the day. Unfortunately the shuttle will not operate in the evening.

----------

Service 73 will continue to serve the bus shelters on Howlett Way, but will then operate via the A14 & Garrison Lane to rejoin normal route at the High Road junction.

Service 75/77 will operate via High Road through Trimley St Martin, but will then serve the bus shelters on Howlett Way before operating the above diversion route.

----------

Service 975 will follow the 75/77 diversion route, meaning that any passengers at Walton will need to board at Great Eastern Square. Any passengers in the Trimleys should head to Howlett Way.

Service 978 will also follow the 75/77 diversion route - however the shuttle bus detailed below will connect to allow any passengers from Trimleys or Walton to connect onto the school services at Great Eastern Square, alternatively passengers can also board at Howlett Way.

----------

Suffolk One service O2 will be split into two services, as detailed below.
Pickup times from Trimley & Walton will be altered, however all other pickup times will remain the same.

Afternoon services will operate in the same fashion, with one bus serving Felixstowe & Grange Farm and the other serving Felixstowe & Trimleys

----------
