A new bus service to the UEA and hospital will be introduced next week.

The 512 service, which starts on Monday, February 6, will run hourly with the first bus arriving at the Norfolk & Norwich Hospital at 7.10am and the last bus departing at 6.25pm.

The service, operated by Konectbus and introduced as part of Norfolk County Council’s Bus Service Improvement plan, will run from Reepham Road and make stops around the ring road including the Airport Park and Ride, Boundary Road, Sweet Briar Road, and Farrow Road.

It will then stop on Earlham Road for the UEA before ending at the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital.  

Cllr Graham Plant, cabinet member for Highways, Infrastructure and Transport, said: "The UEA and the hospital are both important locations in Norwich receiving huge numbers of employees and visitors each day.

"This new service brings people living in the north of Norwich and into north Norfolk an option to travel more sustainably and save money on petrol and parking charges."

A single trip on the services will cost £2 until the end of March as Konectbus is one of the local operators taking part in the fare cap promotion funded by the government.
