Castle Rising & South Wootton disruption

Due to the closure of Castle Rising Road for Norfolk County Council toucan crossing construction works our service 35 is unable to serve its normal route for the lengthy closure period. During the closure period we're regrettably unable to serve the following locations:

St Germans and Saddlebow disruption

From Monday 7th to Friday 11th July (between 0800 to 1700hrs only) there will be disruption to our service 46 buses due to the closure of the bridge at St Germans. 

The following journeys will operate exactly as per normal as they are unaffected by the closure:

  • 0730hrs from Wisbech can operate as normal
  • 1700hrs from Wisbech can operate as normal
  • 1720hrs from King’s Lynn can operate as normal

Outside of these times the road is closed and therefore our normal route 46 buses will be operating a diversion route missing all bus stops in St Germans village, Saddlebow village and Saddlebow Industrial Estate. To mitigate the disruption to our customers we will be operating a dedicated shuttle bus a certain times of the day to cover some of the busier journeys from St Germans and Saddlebow village as follows:

West Walton disruption

Unfortunately due to the complex situation of two separate road closures on Walton Road (West Walton) and Lynn Road (Walton Highway) service 46/X46 has been subject to significant diversions, the situation here changes regularly (sometimes one road is open but not the other, sometimes both closed, etc!) so the latest update we can provide is as follows:

Friday 11th July - Neither West Walton or Walton Highway can be served.

Saturday 12th July to Wednesday 23rd July - West Walton village will be served as normal. Walton Highway still cannot be served.

We believe that from 24th July West Walton may not be accessible for two days once again (due to Walton Road being closed) but this will be confirmed nearer the time. 

Please accept our apologies for this ongoing disruption, regrettably these closures are completely out of our control.
