Ipswich Network Map - from 31st August 2025

On Sunday 18th January 2025 a 350 tonne transformer required for the Hornsea 3 off-shore wind farm will be transported on the A47 from the port at Kings Lynn to the A140 junction at Norwich and then to Swardeston.

The load will be travelling at a maximum speed of 12mph and will take the entire day to complete the journey. It is anticipated that there may be delays to traffic in general and as a result there is the potential for some disruption to our Excel A service. Customers are advised to allow additional time for their journeys in case of such delays.

We apologise to all excel customers in advance for any inconvenience that may be caused on the day, our team will be working to minimise disruption.

The section of the bus gate where the stops are has been closed by roadworks.

Currently, 24/24A will continue to roundabout and use the far section of the bus gate as a temporary stop ( same back toward City).
