Service Alterations Registered ~ 1st May 2019

With First's coastal summer timetables due to start at the end of the month, the operator dominates  today's posting on the latest Notices and Proceedings Report published by the East of England Traffic Commissioner.

First Eastern Counties is to run a 'new' 122 Lowestoft Bus Station to Lowestoft Bus Station service via Oulton on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays from 26th May 2019
The operator is also to vary the timetables of the following existing services from the same date:-
* 1/1A Lowestoft Bus Station to Martham
* 3 Great Yarmouth Seashore Holiday Centre to South Beach Parade open top service
* 101 Gunton to Hollow Grove
* 102 Lowestoft Bus Station to Oulton
* 105 Lowestoft Bus Station to Oulton Rock Estate
* 106 Lowestoft Bus Station to Burnt Hill
* X1 Great Yarmouth Market Gates to Lowestoft Bus Station
* X1/X11 Norwich Bus Station to Great Yarmouth Market Gates
* X11 Great Yarmouth Market Gates to Bracon Road, Belton
First is also to amend the route and stopping places of the 103 Lowestoft Bus Station to Carlton Colville - effectively removing the Carlton Colville part of the route from 26th May 2019 although the area will still be served by the X22
