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:
