The Eastern Daily Press reports that Norfolk Green is taking over all of King’s Lynn ’s town bus routes after funding cutbacks result in First East England Buses surrendering its services. Click here to see the full article.
Drivers currently working for First will transfer to Norfolk Green and the X1 service which runs from Lowestoft to Peterborough, via Great Yarmouth, Norwich and Kings Lynn, will continue to be run by First.

Whilst the X1 is expected to be largely unaffected by the Kings Lynn decision, a revised service is expected to commence at the same time as the transfer of services take place. It is understood that the X1 is to be split with the service operating every 30 minutes between Kings Lynn and Peterborough with a reduction in frequency to an hourly service between Kings Lynn and Norwich. However, this will be supplemented by a Lowestoft to Dereham (via Great Yarmouth) service providing a 30 minute service between Dereham and Norwich.
