Why the Change?
These changes are all about making public transport dependable. By moving away from demand-responsive booking model to fixed timetables, passengers no longer need to worry about reserving seats via an app. Plus, the timetables have been intentionally structured to allow smooth connections with First Bus Excel services heading toward Norwich and King's Lynn from Swaffham Market Place.
We aim to have leaflets available at the Swaffham Tourist Information Centre by the 14th of August 2026.
We look forward to welcoming you on board!
