Due to remedial works taking place on the junction of Bluebell Road/Norvic Drive from 08:00 on 28th October to 17:00 on 30th October, Pink Line 10 will need to take a diversion route.

It will operate from the city as far as Daniels Road roundabout, then via Mile End Road, South Park Avenue, Pettus Road, Peckover Road & Rugge Drive to the terminus at the Leng Crescent stop. Towards the city, it will operate the above in reverse.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause to your journey with us.

Due to CityFibre works taking place on Church Road in Great Plumstead between Friday 25th October & Friday 1st November, service 33/33A will be on diversion.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause to your journey.

Due to urgent replacement required of a BT chamber on Castle Meadow, the road will be closed from 19:00 on Friday 25th October until the end of service on Friday 1st November. 

During this time, all services will be unable to call at Castle Meadow - and will instead use their normal stands at alternative city centre stops.

For Pink, Turquoise, Green, Yellow, Purple & Charcoal Line services, plus services 31 & 33 - please use stops on St Stephens Street.
For Orange & Red Line services, plus service 30 - please use stops on Theatre Street/Rampant Horse Street.
For Blue Line services - please use the stops at Red Lion Street as normal, these will still be served.

Please expect delays on all services across the city during the closure, due to the diversion routes involved in avoiding this closure.

Due to Cadent gas works taking place on Laundry Lane in Thorpe St Andrew from Friday 25th October to Friday 1st November, our service 24/24B will need to operate via the 24A route - on South Hill Road, Booty Road & Pound Lane.

There will be three separate road closures in New & Old Costessey between Monday 28th October & Sunday 3rd November. This will affect Red Line 23/23A & 24B services - detailed below.

Monday 28th October to Friday 1st November - both Breckland Road & Richmond Road in New Costessey will be closed, leaving us with no viable alternative but to operate service 23 directly up Dereham Road. This will serve all stops on Dereham Road as an alternative for any affected customers.

Monday 28th October to Sunday 3rd November - Norwich Road in Old Costessey will be closed - meaning service 23A/24B will need to operate up Norwich Road as far as Kabin Road - and will then run non-stop from there to Roundwell Medical Centre via Norwich Road & Dereham Road.

Service 31 will operate the above diversion, but turn around using Richmond Road, East Hills Road & Longwater Lane to maintain a service to Roundwell Medical Centre stops.

We apologise for the inconvenience this may cause to your journey, as Old Costessey will once again lose all bus services.
We have tried working with the council to mitigate these works but unfortunately these works are all unavoidable and need to take place during the school holidays.

Any comments on the roadworks themselves should be directed to Norfolk County Council at 0344 800 8020.

Due to Cadent gas works taking place at the junction of Norwich Road & Dereham Road - a one-way road closure will be in place, affecting services away from the city only from Monday 14th to Monday 21st October.

During this time, services 23A & 24B will need to operate via the 23 route in New Costessey, providing some links across to Norwich Road as a result.

Services towards the City will be able to operate normal routes - as a result any passengers for Old Costessey are advised to remain on the bus out to Longwater, then alight as it returns into the city.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
