A47 EASTON ROUNDABOUT - confirmation of route 4 diversion & ticket acceptance
26th Jun 2026 - 31st Dec 2026
We have finalised our plans for the upcoming National Highways partial closure of the Easton Roundabout. Full details are available at https://www.central-connect.co.uk/easton-roadworks, but have additionally been summarised below for your convenience.
More information
In summary:
- Service 4/4A will continue to serve Easton as normal, but from 1st July services towards Norwich cannot serve Marlingford Road. From 1st August, all services cannot serve Marlingford Road. Services 4/4A will accept all FirstBus tickets for travel to/from Easton, either towards Dereham or towards Longwater & Norwich.
- Service 8C will accept FirstBus tickets for travel to/from Easton College only, to support affected college students.
- The last 8 service (23:30 Rail Station/23:40 Bus Station Mon-Sat, 18:50 Rail Station/19:00 Bus Station Sun & Holidays) will serve Easton on request to any FirstBus ticket holders, to ensure nobody gets stranded in the city after the last 4 & Excel have both left.
- In September, we will look to introduce new service 34, allowing a 30 minute off-peak frequency between Easton and Norwich to bring the frequency back towards what it was. We will also look at modifications to service 4's timetable to better suit student and commuter arrival times in Norwich. We will announce more details in due course.
We know that these National Highways works will be extremely disruptive to bus users in Easton, and hope that while not perfect, our mitigations with the announcement of service 34 and Norfolk County Council's funding for Excel ticket acceptance help to keep you connected as best as possible through these works.
