Norfolk Show - Excel services

Marine Parade Great Yarmouth will be closed Saturday 29th June 2024 & Sunday 30th June 2024 to allow the Wheels Festival to take place. 

Service 1C will therefore be unable to serve its normal route and will be operating between Seashore Caravan Park and Britannia Pier only. Services will wait and pick up their normal scheduled time back to Seashore at the "Pub on the Prom". 

We apologise for the inconvenience to your journeys during this time.

Cottinghams Drive in Hellesdon will be closed on Thursday 4th July & Friday 5th July for resurfacing.

Service 37/37B will operate via Gowing Road, meaning that the Bernham Road stop (on Reepham Road) will not be served by this service.

Service 36/36A/36B will continue to serve that stop as an alternative.

Due to delayed surface dressing work, the A1067 will be closed between Lenwade & Bawdeswell from 20:00 onwards on Monday 8th July, Monday 15th July & Tuesday 23rd July.

We have no safe, approved diversion routes to use to avoid this closure within the timetable of this service, so services will unfortunately need to be curtailed along the route to avoid the closure.

The last bus between Norwich & Fakenham will be 18:00 from St Stephens Street.
The last bus between Norwich & Bawdeswell (on request) will be 19:20 from St Stephens Street.

Services from the Plaza will operate via the back entrance & Hethersett Lane to rejoin normal routes.

Bridge Street Beccles will be closed between 0800hrs & 1700hrs Tuesday 2nd July 2024 for Bridge Inspection works.

We apologise for the inconvenience to your journey. 

Garrison Lane Felixstowe will be closed for Major Sewer Works from Monday 10th June 2024 to Monday 1st July 2024 

Service 73 & 978 will therefore be unable to use Garrison Lane and will have to divert via High Road West in both directions. This means that the service will unfortunately be unable to call at Orwell Road or Hamilton Road. Passengers at these locations can board the 75 service to catch the 73 at High Road West. 

We apologise for the inconvenience to your journey

THIS CLOSURE HAS ENDED EARLY. SERVICES ARE BACK TO NORMAL ROUTE.

Due to the installation of a new zebra crossing on Back Lane in Hethersett, our Pink & Green Line services will need to take a diversion route from Tuesday 28th May to Tuesday 30th July.

Both services from Norwich will operate their normal routes along Coachmaker Way & Churchfields, but will merge onto Coachmaker Way past the school & Co-op, then down Little Melton Road onto normal route into Hethersett.

We apologise for any disruption this closure may cause to your journey.
