Latest News

On Sunday, there will be a few service alterations in the Norwich area with us taking over routes 6, 42, 43 and 55 from NorwichBus. Adding to that we will also be taking over the rest of the Purple Line services from FirstNorwich. There will be changes to most Purple Line services as stated below;

Purple Line 36: This service will be added on to Purple Line 37 and therefore will be withdrawn.

Purple Line 36B: Service Withdrawn

Purple Line 37: There will be changes to the route and the service has been extended at either end as this route has been merged with Purple Line 36. The route is now as follows: Mulbarton, Long Stratton, Norwich, Aylsham Road, Hellesdon and Horsford. Purple Line 37 will operate every 30 minutes.

Purple Line 37B: Service Withdrawn

Purple Line 38: This route has been merged with Purple Line 38A. The route will now operate as follows: Norwich, Alysham Road, Airport Industrial Estate and Ives Road. The route will operate every 30 minutes.

Purple Line 38A: This service has been merged to make 'new' Purple Line 38.

Purple Line 39: No changes to service

In other news, our brand new Great Yarmouth depot will be opening on the 20th of April with new route 6 being operated from it and the operation of route 10 (Norwich - Acle - Great Yarmouth) transferring to the new depot along with the buses operating the route. Demonstrator L1 SK63 GAA will also transfer to the new Great Yarmouth depot but will be returned to Wrightbus on the 30th of April.

We are currently planning on expanding route 10 (Norwich - Acle - Great Yarmouth) to Lowestoft as many passengers of the route and passengers of rival services say that they might consider or would use route 10 if it continued to Lowestoft. We are also thinking of trialling double deckers on route 10 as some journeys can become quite full and with the extension of the route being planned more capacity maybe needed.

We will be launching more routes in Aylesbury too with in the coming weeks. These routes still needed to be confirmed and registered with VOSA. We will display more information here when we have it.
