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.

Bernham Road, Hellesdon (37/37B)

This closure has finished early, and services are now resuming normal route.

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.
