First Bus Norfolk & Suffolk Landing Page

Yarmouth Road Lowestoft currently has ongoing Drainage and Carriageway Improvement works in place until June 24. 

Due to the impact of the traffic delays that these works are having it may be necessary at some times to divert our Service 1, 101 & X1 services via Bentley Drive, Millenium Way and Oulton Road to safeguard our service and mitigate the delays to the wider Network. 

We apologise for the inconvenience to your Journey and are working with national Highways to try and minimise delays as much as possible. 

As works on the Heartsease Roundabout TCF scheme have progressed, they are now in a position where a full closure of all arms of the roundabout will be required - as a result, the roundabout will be closed from Saturday 13th April to Friday 17th May continuously.

The table below details the diversions that each bus route will take, and a diagram of all services in the area is also attached. All services have been instructed to allow passengers to board/alight at stops on their diversion route.
