Between coast & city and back again...
No matter where you live across the city, you can use our frequent Network Norwich bus routes to get you to the city centre; they’re colour coded to make them really simple to understand.
Once you're there just head over to Norwich Bus Station where you can jump on our direct Coastlink services to the seaside resorts of Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft, calling at plenty of other great places on the way.
They run every day up to every 15 minutes (up to every 30 minutes on Sundays) and are ideal for a fun, relaxed, fun day enjoying the best the east coast has to offer. Most buses on these routes have big panoramic windows and comfy leather seats as well as plenty of space for bags and knees.
And once you're there, we run loads of other bus services to help you get around if you want to go that bit further - maybe for a walk at Winterton, to the beach at Caister or to see the animals at Africa Alive in Kessingland. You can even use your Explorer Day Ticket on our Clipper Cabriolet Open Top bus in Great Yarmouth (runs in the summer months).
Or, if you're lucky enough to live at the coast, you can use an Explorer Day Ticket to come up to Norwich, and head off to one of the many great places around and about...you can go as far afield as the Mid Norfolk Railway at Dereham; the famous market at Fakenham or head out on the river from Wroxham and loads more.
With an Explorer Day Ticket, you’ll get there, back and all around, all day with unlimited travel on all our buses in Norwich and all along the east coast with just one ticket.
