Service operator, Stagecoach in Norfolk, has revealed details of an investment plan, which they say is worth “well over £1 million”. Of that, £600,000 has been spent on five new buses, which have already come into service on routes in Lynn and immediate surrounding areas.
The remainder will go towards an upgrade and expansion of facilities at the company’s maintenance depot in Hamlin Way, on the Hardwick Narrows estate, which was given planning permission by West Norfolk Council in June.
Mr Campbell said managers had had to address a number of issues since the West Norfolk services, which were formerly run under the Norfolk Green banner, came under their control in May
Managing director Andy Campbell said: “We are working through the problems that we have to improve the services in line with what I would expect from a Stagecoach operation.”
Caroline Williams CEO Norfolk Chamber of Commerce said:”We very much welcome the news that Stagecoach are investing in their vital service across West Norfolk and look forward to seeing improvement in the near future.”
