As part of the changes to the road layout around Great Yarmouth - customers who would typically use the Brahams Court, Stonecutters Way, Fitzalan Close & The Gallon Pot stops will need to replan their journeys as our services will no longer serve these stops.
However, a new stop will be introduced on Regent Street (near the junction of Howard Street South) for services heading into Stands B/C (towards Norwich/Caister) at Market Gates. The Town Hall stop will also be relocated to a nearby locaton on South Quay and will continue to recieve the same services at the same times as now.
Thank you for your patience & apologies for any inconvenience caused during these works.
For details on other operator's services and stand allocations, please view the TravelNorfolk website or the respective bus operator's website.
Bernham Road, Hellesdon (37/37B)
From Monday 21st April to Friday 25th July, Bernham Road in Hellesdon will be closed to enable Norfolk County Council to carry out footway reconstruction works, which will have a severe impact on our Purple Line 37/37B services.
In the Hellesdon area, these services will be split in half on Monday to Saturdays daytimes - with one bus an hour operating a loop of Bush Road, Raymond Road & Reepham Road, and one bus an hour operating a loop of Coppice Avenue & Woodland Road. Please see the timetable below (or attachment) for details on bus times on either side of the loop during this closure.
Evening services (shown below as serving both Bush Road & Woodland Road Stores) will operate both loops to serve as many stops as possible during these times where services operate less frequently.
Services south of The Bull roundabout, and all other Purple Line services are not affected by this, and will continue to operate at the same times as now.
Please view the temporary timetable attached below for bus times from either side of Hellesdon during this closure.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause to your journey, but we are not responsible for issuing roadworks permits and can only work around these closures.
