Walton Highway (Excel A/C)

19th Jun 2025All areas

Effective

19/06/2025 - 11/07/2025

Excel services are unable to serve Walton Highway due to a pair of road closures on Lynn Road & Wisbech Road, we are left with no other diversion routes beyond operating via the A47.

Provisionally, both of these road closures will mean that we are unable to serve Walton Highway until Friday 11th July - but are working with Norfolk County Council to find a resolution as quickly as possible.

Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.

Stradbroke Road, Lowestoft Closure

Due to the road closure of Stradbroke Road, Lowestoft, all services will be diverted as follows:

Continuing along London Road, Pakefield, onto Bloodmoor Road and normal line of route. In both directions until the 30th June.

The 998 service will collect pupils from the opposite side of the road (school has been made aware of this).

Apologies for the impact on your journey.

Station Road, Silfield (14A/15/15A/16/16A)

Due to subway construction taking place on Station Road (under the rail bridge) between Wymondham & Silfield - our services 14A/15/15A/16/16A will be curtailed from Monday 30th June to Sunday 20th July.

During this time, services will continue to serve Wymondham Cross & Harts Farm as normal, but will terminate & restart service on Ayton Road. This means that we will be unable to serve Silfield.

---------------------------------------------------

However, as-per previous closures - Norfolk County Council have procured a free shuttle bus service (operated by Tan Cars), which will operate directly from Silfield Goshawk Rise to Wymondham Cross (& v.v.) - making use of diversion routes that we would not be able to send a bus through.

The timetable for this service is shown below and is available as a printed version at the bottom of this page, and will additionally be posted at all bus stops in Silfield.

For any queries or complaints relating to the shuttle bus, you will need to contact Norfolk County Council at www.norfolk.gov.uk or 0344 800 8020.

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.

Bernham Road, Hellesdon (37/37B)

Due to an emergency road closure on Bernham Road in Hellesdon due to a burst water main, there will be severe disruption 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.
