Your journeys mean everything to us, but we’ve been on our own journey too. We know bus isn’t always perfect, but we’ve been listening to our communities, and making changes for the better. Find out more.
Due to a continued closure of Magdalen Street, Anglia Square - services will be diverting as below:
All affected services out of the city are diverting via Palace St and stopping both sides at the layby bus stop by The Wig and Pen PH, then again at the stop cityside of the zebra crossing on Whitefriars (St James Palace).
At the roundabout services 10/A/11/A/12/13 will continue ahead and serve all stops on Charlton Rd to resume route at The Artichoke PH (10/A will resume route at Bull Close Rd).
All other services (28/29/X29/36/A/37/38/39/21/A) will turn left at the roundabout, cross the flyover, turn right at the next roundabout and resume route at the end of Aylsham Rd ( 21/A on Waterloo Rd).
Park and Ride PR1 will serve The Wig and Pen and Whitefriars and then operate nonstop by either of the above routes depending on traffic.
Return towards the city is the reverse of the above.
We will not be able to serve Anglia Square or Edward Street stops until the road has been reopened.
Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

This road is closed until 8th June, both ways, between the Long John Hill traffic lights and the A146 Trowse bypass.

A47 Acle Straight closure
Tuesday 27th May End Date Friday 18th July Duration 20:00-06:00, weeknights for resurfacing works.
Affected services will need to operate via Filby in both directions.
The A47 will be closed overnight for the next 22 nights.
The Excel service will be unable to serve Necton, Little Fransham, Wendling, Scarning and New Scarning during this closure as we will be diverting the service. We will still be able to serve Dereham and the rest on the route.
From Monday 21st April to Friday 25th July, Bernham Road in Hellesdon will be closed to enable Norfolk County Council to carry out footway reconstruction works, which will have a severe impact on our Purple Line 37/37B services.
In the Hellesdon area, these services will be split in half on Monday to Saturdays daytimes - with one bus an hour operating a loop of Bush Road, Raymond Road & Reepham Road, and one bus an hour operating a loop of Coppice Avenue & Woodland Road. Please see the timetable below (or attachment) for details on bus times on either side of the loop during this closure.
Evening services (shown below as serving both Bush Road & Woodland Road Stores) will operate both loops to serve as many stops as possible during these times where services operate less frequently.
Services south of The Bull roundabout, and all other Purple Line services are not affected by this, and will continue to operate at the same times as now.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause to your journey, but we are not responsible for issuing roadworks permits and can only work around these closures.
