17/09/2023 - 17/09/2023

Due to the Ipswich Half Marathon taking place on Sunday 17th September, our services in Ipswich will be on diversion between 08:00 & 15:00.

Services 65, 66, 75 & 77 will not be serving any stops in Ipswich Town Centre apart from Tower Ramparts Bus Station.
Additionally, Service 4 will need to take a diversion, meaning that it will only serve Tower Ramparts Bus Station in the Town Centre before continuing non-stop to Rose Hill ALDI, serving the normal route from there to Bixley. The same route applies for services towards the town centre.

We apologise for any inconvenience this event will cause to your journey.

Service 40 - Barrett Rd (Ring Road)

This road is closed until 8th June, both ways, between the Long John Hill traffic lights and the A146 Trowse bypass.

Service 40 will divert by operating along the old route via Bracondale.

There will be no service on City Rd/Long John Hill during this closure.

Acle Straight Evening closure - Service X1

A47 Acle Straight closure

Tuesday 27th May End Date Friday 18th July Duration 20:00-06:00, weeknights for resurfacing works.

Affected services will need to operate via Filby in both directions.

A47 closure - Excel A/B/C

The A47 will be closed overnight for the next 22 nights.

The Excel service will be unable to serve Necton, Little Fransham, Wendling, Scarning and New Scarning during this closure as we will be diverting the service. We will still be able to serve Dereham and the rest on the route.

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.
