Improvements to Coasthopper

After breaking all records for passenger numbers in 2007, since 1 April and the start of free national bus travel for over-60s, the number of people using our Coasthopper buses has doubled, with 350% extra over-60s travelling. This has inevitably meant that at times our buses have been overloaded, and we have had to leave other passengers behind or run some extra journeys with older step-entrance buses. Although we had expected and prepared for a significant increase in passengers, the recent increase has surpassed all reasonable expectations.

So from Saturday 12 July, in conjunction with Norfolk County Council, we are making substantial improvements to the Monday to Saturday high summer timetable, which will mean buses every 30 minutes between 0900 and 1700hrs between Sheringham and Hunstanton. There will also be progressively more journeys run with more modern step-free buses, and extra buses running to and from Cromer.

The times of the first and last buses will remain the same, as will the high summer times for Sunday buses. These improved times will now apply right through to 28 September, after which the service will step down once again for the autumn period.

Save with a new Duo return fare!

From Saturday 21 June, two adults buying a return ticket on any Norfolk Green route (except Coasthopper) and travelling there and back together get 15% off the price of two normal adult returns!

Simply ask the driver when you board for a Duo return to your destination, and get there for less. Duo tickets can also be bought for through fares where you change buses, and for our unlimited travel King’s Lynn day and weekly tickets too.

Have the freedom of King's Lynn for £1.70

From Saturday 21 June, our unlimited travel King’s Lynn day ticket available on FairsteadOne, the 4, 5 and 45 will be extended to be issued and accepted on any of our buses within the King's Lynn bypass - so you can reach Hardwick Road, South Lynn and QE Hospital too - just £1.70 for one day, £5 for one week, with child, 16-19 and Duo versions available too.

Other changes to fares

From Saturday 21 June, due to the increasing price of fuel, we are having to raise some fares on our 29, 505, X5, X6 and X29 buses. We are making sure that many weekly ticket prices will remain unchanged, and remember that two adults making a return trip together can now both save 15% with our new Duo ticket.
