Blofield Road, Brundall (Green 15/15A)
Cadent are starting a program of gas main renewals across Brundall in multiple phases, which will affect our bus services in various stages over the next couple of months.
The first phase of work will start on Blofield Road in Brundall, which will close from Monday 24th March to Friday 11th April.
During this time, our Green Line 15/15A services will not be able to serve Brundall. These services will operate directly from the A47 onto Yarmouth Road & into Blofield.
Green Line 16/16A services will continue to serve Brundall at the normal posted times.
Service 905 will pick up students from Cucumber Lane in Brundall only during this closure.
We apologise for any disruption this work, and the continuing gas main renewal project may cause to your journey - however this is out of our control as the local bus operator and we have no other alternatives.
