Buses in Lowestoft

=Lowestoft Corporation=

Lowestoft was one of the many places that had a municipal bus service. Lowestoft Corporation operated the bus and, up to 1931 tram services. Buses were not operated until 1927. It became Waveny District Council in 1974 and was sold by the council to Eastern Counties in 1977. The bus garage is on Rotterdam Road and is still exant.

Eastern Counties

After bus deregulation in 1986, most town services including the north-south routes taken over in 1977 were operated with minibuses. The 680 series of which these routes were numbered in, adopted in the 1970s, was replaced with a new series with L-prefix routes.

*L7 - Gunton St Peter Estate
*L8 - Burnt Hill Estate
*L9 - Hollow Grove
*L10 - ?
*L11/L12 - Carlton Colville

Cutbacks from EC's successor, First Eastern Counties have seen many routes withdrawn.
