NORTH STATION, COLCHESTER

The bus stop at North Station, Colchester (towards Colchester City Centre) is currently obstructed. Our services are currently unable to stop at the bus stop until the  obstruction has been removed.

Bus Stop is now open.


B3 / B4

The obstruction has been removed. The B3 and B4 are returning to normal line of route.

The B3 and B4 are currently unable to serve Pitsea - Tesco Store and Station Lane due to a HGV on delivery is obstructing access. The B3 and B4 will serve the bus stop located on Hazlemere until further notice.


Due to higher levels of traffic along the x20 route tonight, all passengers wanting to use the x20 service in the direction of Stanstead from North Station please make your way to Colchester High Street.

Please use services 87,51,52,53 to the High Street from North Station to insure onwards travel.


Due to disruption along Paxman Avenue, the number 56 bus is stuck. This will have a knock on effect to tonight's 57 service to Saint Michaels leaving Osborne Street at 17:13. Unfortunately it will not run. Once the bus is free, we will get the service back on time for the remainder of the evening
