Konectbus to run new BSIP-funded Canary Konect

Go-Ahead-owned Konectbus is to operate a new service in Norwich.

This new service is being funded by the £49.55m BSIP funding which Norfolk County Council secured.

The new service runs between Carrow Road and The Nest, stopping at Norwich train station and the airport. Route 35, known as the ‘Canary Konect’, is to provide an hourly service seven days a week from 16 April.

Gavin Smith, Managing Director of Go East Anglia/Konectbus, said; “Konectbus are delighted to have been involved with the BSIP funding project alongside other local operators and Norfolk County Council. This new route links many key transport hubs and sporting facilities across the city and further supports the recent introduction of 512 to the NNUH, 11C from the Heartsease estate and enhancement to our rural Fab 4 route.”
