Cllr Graham Plant, Cabinet Member for Highways, Infrastructure and Transport, said, “Regular and affordable bus services into our urban areas is key to getting more people to choose the bus for everyday trips and commuting. By running buses earlier and later we’re making it easier for the growing population around King’s Lynn to choose the bus for their daily commute.”

Ness Reeve, Transport & General Manager of WNCT Ltd said “We are pleased to be able to offer this additional service, which has been introduced due to local popular demand. The earlier and later buses will allow residents better access to the town centre for work and connections to onward travel.”
