Ravensmere, Beccles (Coastlink X2/X21/X22)

18th Nov 2024All areas

Effective

18/11/2024 - 28/11/2024

Due to Openreach works taking place on Ravensmere in Beccles, our Coastlink X2/X21/X22 services will need to take a diversion route from Monday 18th November to Thursday 28th November between 19:00 & 06:00 each night.

This will only affect services from Norwich, which will need to operate via the A146 & George Westwood Way - meaning they will be unable to serve Gillingham in that directio only. Services from Lowestoft will be able to operate normal route.

Any passengers from Gillingham towards Lowestoft will need to wait on the bypass at a safe point for buses to stop during this closure.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Magdalen Road delays (Pink/Orange)

Due to the traffic displaced by a road closure on Waterloo Road, we are experiencing higher than normal levels of congestion around Magdalen Road/Anglia Square. This road closure/scheme will be in place until mid-March, however we are hoping for less congestion after Christmas.

Our Pink & Orange Line services are most impacted by this, with services around peak times operating up to 20 minutes behind schedule.

Our operations team will continue trying to mitigate the delays caused by these works, and we apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Guidance on CPCA Tiger ticket validity

Please be reminded that CPCA Tiger U16/16+ tickets are only valid for travel *from* stops within CPCA. These fare stages are Peterborough, Thorney, Thorney Toll, Guyhirn & Wisbech.

This means that we can sell a discounted ticket from Peterborough to Kings Lynn - but we cannot sell a discounted ticket from Kings Lynn to Peterborough, as Kings Lynn is not within the CPCA area. Our drivers will not be able to offer you this ticket, and you will need to purchase a regular Adult/Young Person Single to complete your journey.

If you have any specific queries on ticket validity, please contact our Customer Services team who will be able to advise.
