17/04/2023 - 28/04/2023

Due to works to install Fibre Optic cabling, Belvedere Road, Ipswich will be closed to all traffic from Monday 17th April 2023 until Friday 28th April 2023 affecting all service 59 journeys on these dates.

Unfortunately we will only be able to operate via Tuddenham Road meaning that stops on Belvedere Road, Whitby Road, Brunswick Road, Kingsgate Drive and Colchester Road will not be served.

We apologise to all customers affected by this diversion caused by factors outside our control.

Anglia Square [UPDATE 09/06]

Due to a continued closure of Magdalen Street, Anglia Square following an emergency incident - services will be diverting as below:

All affected services out of the city are diverting via Palace St and stopping both sides at the layby bus stop by The Wig and Pen PH, then again at the stop cityside of the zebra crossing on Whitefriars (St James Palace).

At the roundabout, services 10/A, 11/A, 12, 13 will continue ahead and serve all stops on Charlton Rd to resume route at The Artichoke PH (10/A will resume route at Bull Close Rd).

All other services (28/29/X29/36/A/37/38/39/21/A) will turn left at the roundabout, cross the flyover, turn right at the next roundabout and resume route at the end of Aylsham Rd (21/A on Waterloo Rd).

Park and Ride PR1 will serve The Wig and Pen and Whitefriars and then operate non-stop by either of the above routes depending on traffic.

Return towards the city is the reverse of the above.

We will not be able to serve Anglia Square or Edward Street stops until the road has been reopened.

Services 10/A are now reinstated heading towards Mousehold only.

Customers are advised to walk to The Artichoke (for 11/A, 12 or 13 services) or along Cowgate to Charlton Rd/Bull Close Rd for 10/A.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

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.
