100

Workmen have been completing since 10:00 this morning however, works are still causing major issues.

Currently the services for the 100 are diverting both on inbound and outbound journeys between Lakeside and Greys Bus Station.

We hope works concludes soon and ensign have been made aware of our operations as they will assist in taking passengers through London Road for the stops we are now missing.

Update: Services are terminating at Greys.
They briefly started serving both directions around 15:00 but cars are now leaving Lakeside and the traffic is very heavy.

Tiptree High Street is closed for the rest of the day due to a Christmas Market.

Full diversion details can be found here: Service 75 - Tiptree High Street | First Bus

Due to recent vandalism to our buses, Service 71 will not be serving Church Road or Plantation Road in Boreham from 17.00 this evening.

16:25 service from Brightlingsea Victoria Place is currently not running, as a result of a breakdown.
