Local rail lines to Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft closed

Train services from Norwich to Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft are being replaced with buses as part of a £68 million project to replace signals on the line.

The work will continue until 28th October, until then all services will be replaced by buses. Trains between Lowestoft and Ipswich will only be running on weekdays. Network Rail and Greater Anglia say the work should improve the reliability of services on the lines once it has finished.

The train line from Reedham to Great Yarmouth via Berney Arms will be closed until early April 2019.

Until Sunday 28 October passengers travelling from Reedham and Cantley will need to catch a bus to Acle, where they can then connect with the bus to Norwich. From Monday 29 October until April 2019, passengers from Reedham and Cantley can travel by train to Brundall, where they catch the train to Norwich or Great Yarmouth. This also applies to rail passengers from Buckenham on Sundays.
