We’re delighted to be supporting the boys at Aylsham Round Table with their beer festival again this year! 🍻

We’ll be running some FREE shuttle buses from over to the event, returning late in the evening to get you home safely as well.

Our usual evening buses back to Norwich and North Norfolk will all also be running as normal, a great way to travel home without a taxi bill or worrying about a designated driver. 🚌

This isn’t just an event about drinking lots of beer, it raises a huge amount of money every year for great local causes. We’re really pleased to have been asked to be a part of it again! 👏🏼

If you are heading to Aylsham Beer Festival on Saturday 18th July we have some exciting news for you. This year we have teamed up with Sanders Coaches to offer a FREE dedicated beer festival bus service from North Walsham to Aylsham via Felmingham.

So you can leave the car at home and enjoy a great day out enjoying our great beer, cider and gin selection, live music and good food and get back home safely 🍻🎶🍔🚌

Ducky has had his makeover. He’s looking a million dollars now! 💅

First training session is underway. Before we chuck him in a river, he’s having some practice in the puddles at the depot.

Swanton Morley Duck race and Fete here we come! 🦆

Last week, we received lots of feedback saying you were disappointed that our first 15 bus from Sheringham to Felbrigg Hall NT departs slightly too early to use your concessionary passes on.

Well, we’ve spoken with Norfolk County Council and they’ve very kindly agreed an exemption on this service. This means that from tomorrow, you can travel on the 09:15 from Sheringham free of charge using your concessionary bus pass.

Thank you to those who sent us their feedback! 🙏

If you’ve just had the week off work, school or college and are travelling with us tomorrow, we’re here to remind you that some of our timetables changed from last Sunday! 🚌

Please check before you travel by heading to our website or app, and setting tomorrow’s date on the timetable.

See you in the morning! 🌅

We love a visitor! This morning we’ve had this adorable little 1953 “Guy Special” stop by our North Walsham depot for a wash! 🧽

It is owned by Norfolk Vintage Bus Hire, who have a stunning collection of vintage buses available for hire for weddings, parties and events.

Thanks Cllr Matthew Taylor and Connor Rouse - Holt Ward for taking the time to visit us at Holt Depot this afternoon! 🚌

Both passed their driving assessments with flying colours! ✅

Anybody lost these? 🌊🏄‍♂️

There’s no puddles in our yard to swim in, not much good to us!

Another “How on earth did somebody leave those behind?” item to add to the collection. 🤔

Meet Ducky! 🦆

We’ve adopted Ducky to go in the Swanton Morley Duck race and Fete on Saturday 27th June.

We tried to see if he could manage driving a bus for us today. He couldn’t reach the pedals but his jokes were quackers. 10/10 for customer service, Ducky!

We’ll keep you up to date with Ducky’s training before the big race. 🏎️🏁
