Hempnall Road, Woodton (Charcoal 41/41A & 941)

Due to CityFibre works taking place from Monday 18th November to Friday 22nd November on Hempnall Road in Woodton, our Charcoal Line 41/41A services will not be able to serve Woodton and will instead remain on the B1332 throughout.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Ravensmere, Beccles (Coastlink X2/X21/X22)

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.

Ingate, Beccles (Coastlink X2/X21/X22)

Ingate, Beccles will be closed between Ellough Road and Peddars Lane from Monday 18th November to Wednesday 20th November for Openreach works to take place.

We apologise for the inconvenience to your journeys.

Gertrude Road (Pink 10/10A)

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.

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.
