Effective12/10/2022 - 14/12/2022
With the re-opening of the bridge between The Pulhams and Starston our Purple Line 36A service have now resumed services to and from The Pulhams
This does however mean that due to the works within Harleston town centre we will be unable to serve Broad Street. All 36A services will revert to operating the full route until opposite the school in Wilderness Lane where all journeys will terminate. Buses will then turn and operate journeys towards Norwich from the stop on the other side.
This diversion will remain in place until further notice. We are advised that a further closure of the bridge will be required in the coming weeks which will require a further revision of this route. We will endeavour to keep all customers informed in advance.
We apologise for this disruption to your journeys with us.

Hydrant repair works will be taking place on Gertrude Road from Monday 18th November to Wednesday 20th November, meaning the road will once again be closed.
During this time, services will operate the full length of Mousehole Avenue, then make the left onto Silver Road.
We apologise for any disruption this may cause to your journey.
Longwater Lane, New Costessey (Red 23A/24B & 31)
Due to a new connection being installed by Anglian Water, near to Roundwell Medical Centre between Monday 18th November & Friday 6th December, Red Line 23A/24B & 31 services will all be on diversion.
Service will be maintained to Old Costessey as buses will operate normal route through there - but will operate via East Hills Road & Richmond Road to avoid the closure point. Please do expect some delays on these services - however this is the best compromise to maintain the overall service.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause to your journey.

Owing to Remembrance Sunday Parades across the First Eastern Counties network, some of our services will be subject to disruption on Sunday 10th November.
| Attleborough |
The 10:00 service from Norwich City Centre will terminate outside The Mulberry Pub. |
|---|---|
| Bungay | The 13:20 from Norwich City Centre is expected to arrive into Bungay later than normal, but will not need to take any diversion routes. All services towards Norwich will operate as normal. |

Between 10:15 & 12:00 - we will not be able to serve the Market Place, St Nicholas Street, Sandy Lane or Chestnut Road within Dereham. |

| Norwich City Centre |
There will be two parades - the first one between 09:15 & 09:45 will mean that the following services will not be able to serve Castle Meadow.
The second parade will begin at 11am - but will be rolling road closures so we expect minimal delays to our services. |
| Wymondham | This event will be taking place in & around Wymondham Cross - as a result between 13:45 & 15:30, our 13/14A services will only be operating from the stops at The Chestnuts on Avenue Road. |

| Caister (delays only) | We are expecting some delays as a rolling road closure will be in place between 10:55 & 11:15 - all services will continue to operate their normal route and will simply wait for the road to reopen. |
Please remember that we're offering free bus travel to the Armed Forces community, serving troops, veterans, and cadets on Remembrance Sunday and Remembrance Day (Sunday 10th November and Monday 11th November). Please find out more here.
Finally, our drivers may pull over to observe the two-minute silence at 11am as a mark of respect - your understanding would be appreciated during this time.
The Street, Acle (Coastlink X1/7)
Due to due to resurfacing works & bus stop improvements taking place in the centre of Acle, our evening Coastlink X1 & 7 services will need to take a diversion route between 20:00 & 05:00 each night between Monday 4th November & Sunday 17th November.
During this time, services will not be able to serve any of their normal stops in Acle. Instead, services will operate via the A47, then onto A1064 Old Road to serve the pair of stops at Acle, Hermitage Close (near to The Hermitage) instead of the normal stop at The Kings Head.
This alternative stop is about a 12 min/850m walk from the normal stops in the Kings Head - unfortunately our services are not able to serve anywhere closer to the town centre during this closure.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause to your journey, due to these unavoidable works.
