To allow for the completion of existing works there will be changes to stopping arrangements & some closures affecting services from Monday 3rd November to Friday 19th December (estimated). Any updates relating to this will be added to this page as the project develops - please check back frequently if you use the bus interchange.

During these works there will be temporary changes to stopping arrangements in Cringleford Interchange which will apply to all bus services by all operators.

The stops at Stand B & Stand C will both be suspended to allow a safe working area - Stand B will be relocated north-west of the Dragonfly Way roundabout, and Stand C will be relocated onto the shelter at Stand A. Signage will be in place to direct passengers to the correct bus stops, and bus times will be unchanged.

We apologise for any inconvenience these works may cause to your journey.

Hargham Road, Attleborough will be closed to all traffic from Monday 27th October 2025 to Friday 19th December 2025 to allow for work by Cadent to replace the gas mains.

As a result all Turquoise line services (13 and X13) will be unable to complete their usual route and will be on diversion for the duration of the closure.

All services will operate as usual as far as Sainsburys and then continue along London Road turning into Dodds Road to resume the usual route via Hargham Road and New Road.

As a result the stops at Shrub Close, Olland Road and Dodds Road will not be served for the duration of the closure.

We apologies to all customers affected by the diversion of our services.
