Due to final bypass works taking place between the Long Stratton Bypass north roundabout & Long Stratton itself - the road will be closed from Monday 15th September to Tuesday 21st October.

Services 36/36A/36B from Norwich will join the A140 Long Stratton bypass, to then enter Long Stratton from the south to complete a loop of Swan Lane/Manor Road/Flowerpot Lane to then either head back to Norwich or Harleston.

Services towards Norwich will operate the above diversion in reverse - but will operate the same one-way loop around Long Stratton, so please check destination screens or with the driver to ensure you have boarded the correct bus.

UPDATE 15/09 08:59 - Services 36A/36B will follow the old diversion until end of service on Tuesday 16th September, leaving Stratton towards Harleston via the north & bypass as the switchover has been delayed.

Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.
