More regular buses services to be launched between King's Lynn and North Wootton
It comes after Norfolk was awarded £50m in government funding to improve local transport
There are set to be more regular buses connecting North Wootton and King's Lynn, as part of a £50m investment into transport in Norfolk.
The number 3 North Wootton Circular, operated by Go To Town, will run three times an hour from November 13.
It takes the number of journeys per day from 26 to 35. A single will cost £1.50 under the flat fare scheme introduced earlier this year.
The launch of the new 3H service is among improvments already made to bus services in West Norfolk.
Norfolk County Councillor Graham Plant 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 increasing frequency on this service, we’re giving those that live between King’s Lynn and North Wootton more flexibility to be able to travel at times that suit them.”
Norfolk was previously awarded £50m in funding from the Department for Transport to step up bus services.
Roads Minister Richard Holden said: “People up and down the country deserve a clean, reliable, and affordable public transport system."
"That is why we have provided Norfolk County Council with almost £50 million to boost its bus services.
"Supporting the council and the operator Go to Town to enhance this service is fantastic for local residents, who will now be able to get to work, attend medical appointments and visit loved ones for less and more easily.”
