Stowmarket Town Centre (88)
Due to a major gas replacement scheme taking place across Bury Street, Tavern Street & Finborough Road between Monday 28th October & Friday 13th December - our Stowmarket Swift 87/87A & 88 will need to take diversion routes in two parts.
Part One (28th October to 8th November) of these works will mean that service 88 will serve the stop at Argos as normal, but will operate onto Bury Street, then onto Bury Road, St Edmunds Road, Windermere Road then as normal onto Onehouse Road, Chilton Way & Northfield View. Heading towards Ipswich, services will omit Bury Street and instead operate via Gipping Way to join normal route at Barnards.
Service 87/87A will instead move to depart from the Argos stop, as an alternative to the Bury Street stop.
On Gipping Way, a temporary stop will be in place at the cycle lane commencement road sign - just before the junction with Union Street West. Service 88 towards Ipswich will operate from here in lieu of Bury Street.
Part Two (11th November to 13th December) of these works will mean that service 88 will serve the stop at Argos as normal, but will operate onto Station Road West, then onto Bury Road, St Edmunds Road, Windermere Road then as normal onto Onehouse Road, Chilton Way & Northfield View. Towards Ipswich, services will be able to operate normal route into Bury Street and as a result, service 87/87A will operate as normal too.
We apologise for any inconvenience these works may cause to your journey, however these works are essential and cannot be delayed any further.
Burkitt Road Woodbridge (70)
Due to CityFibre works on Burkitt Road in Woodbridge, Village Links 70 will need to divert between Saturday 26th October & Sunday 3rd November.

Due to resurfacing works, the N&N Hospital plaza will be closed from Monday 28th October to Thursday 31st October.
During this time, the Hospital have provided temporary stops in the Staff Car Park for our buses to use, instead of Stand A/B in the Plaza.

Bluebell Road/Norvic Drive (Pink 10)
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.

Services will operate directly along Norwich Road, either terminating at the Brick Kilns in Little Plumstead or continuing to/from Pilson Green.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause to your journey.
***Castle Meadow, Norwich*** (All Norwich Services)
This closure has now been cancelled due to conflicting emergency roadworks in the city centre.
Castle Meadow will REMAIN OPEN during the below dates.
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.

Laundry Lane, Thorpe St Andrew (Red 24/24B)
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.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
Norwich Road, Breckland Road, Richmond Road, Costessey (Red 23/23A/24B)
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.
