This morning i woke up to a Facebook status from a FirstGreat Yarmouth driver regarding Regent Street having a hole in the road, meaning buses weren't operating through Market Gates. At first i thought it was just a wind up, so i headed into town to see if it was true or not, and blimey! It was, a giant square in the middle of the road. I was told it happened previously a couple of years ago, and it was closed for 5 odd weeks, but it is said that the road will re-open on Friday with buses running to normal route. So while i was there, i thought i may as well get a few photographs of the buses on diversion!

A lovely roaring 32206 pulls down Yarmouth Way working the 8 to James Paget Hospital. |
Services heading to James Paget Hospital, Barrack Estate, Beccles, Kessingland, Southwold, and Lowestoft left outside the Troll Cart. Whereas services heading to Caister, Hemsby, Martham, Bradwell, Burgh Castle, Belton and Norwich left outside the Police Station. First put some very helpful notices up at the Bus Stops, and had some very helpful staff hanging around directing people where to catch their buses from!
