Simonds are proud to be taking over the operation of buses to the Harford and Postwick Park and Ride sites with effect from Sunday 30th March 2025, in partnership with Norfolk County Council. We're running more frequently, taking a faster, direct route, and are offering a service seven days a week at both sites - and we're not charging a penny more than the current service!
At Harford Park and Ride, buses on routes 82 and PR2 will run every 15 minutes on weekdays and Saturdays, direct from the Park and Ride site into Norwich along Ipswich Road. We'll only stop at Harford Tesco, Norwich City College and Norwich Bus Station, offering a fast and direct journey. Buses will no longer serve County Hall. At peak times, buses will continue from Norwich Bus Station to Norwich Castle Meadow and Prince of Wales Road. On Sundays buses will run every half an hour between Harford Park and Ride and Norwich Bus Station.

Postwick Park and Ride will be served by route PR3, running every 20 minutes on weekdays and Saturdays with brand new, luxury minibuses, offering air conditioning, USB charging sockets, high back, comfortable seats and a high quality coffee-shop style interior. Buses will operate non-stop along Yarmouth Road, and will then stop at Norwich Railway Station, Norwich Castle Meadow and Norwich Bus Station. We'll run the same route in reverse too.

Fares
Great value fares will continue to be offered, with further discounts for young people and those with concessionary bus passes.
All tickets will be available for purchase on the bus, or via the myTrip app. You will also be able to buy bundles of 10 all day tickets for £30.00 (adult) and £20.00 (young person) via the myTrip app. A young person is anybody aged from five to 19 inclusive. Children under five travel free at all times. You can pay using cash or contactless payment cards on our buses, but we do not accept American Express.
Simonds Diss and Norwich zone and Network zone day, week, month and annual tickets will also be valid on routes 82, PR2 and PR3.
Please note that you will not be entitled to free travel from Harford Park and Ride with a concessionary bus pass. Passengers boarding at this stop must show their concessionary bus pass to the reader on the ticket machine, and will then have to pay for a £2.00 day ticket (you can pay with cash, or a contactless payment card). Concessionary bus passes are also not valid for free travel anywhere on route PR3. The £2.00 Concessionary Day ticket is available on this route.
