Between 2pm and 6pm no services will be able to serve the stops on Upper King Street, Tombland, Anglia Square or Edward Street. 

This will affect the Pink, Purple, Turquoise, Orange and Yellow Line services, with the Yellow line towards the city operating directly from Drayton Road to St Stephens Street. 

Any passengers for Castle Meadow should remain on the bus onto its next journey. 

The celebrations also affect Service 30 which will be operating in and out of the city centre through St Stephens Street and Chapelfield Road. 

All other services are expected to operate as normal but may be subject to delays due to congestion and increased passenger numbers.
