The temporary stop located just before the junction with Bluebell Way, will be the only stop Excel serves, in both directions, so please signal clearly to the driver to stop.

We remain committed to providing a service up to every 30 minutes for Easton.

UPDATED 29th June 2026

Temporary Changes to Services in Easton

From Wednesday 1st July, Highways England will be partially closing the Easton roundabout. This closure will mean that First Bus Excel services cannot turn right into Easton village.

We are pleased to say that a viable diversion route, using Bluebell Way and Fennel Drive has been assessed, and that Excel journeys toward Norwich will be able to serve the village.

All Norwich bound journeys will exit the A47 at the Longwater junction, then head westbound in to Easton, turning around using the diversion route.

Norfolk County Council are arranging for a temporary stop to be located just before the junction with Bluebell Way. Please note: this will be the only stop that Norwich bound Excel services use. Excel buses heading toward Dereham, King's Lynn and Peterborough will not serve this stop

Journeys from Norwich are unaffected and will continue to serve Easton as normal.
