First launched in September 2012, the network now consists of nine colour-coded lines extending across Norwich city centre, outer suburbs, and surrounding towns and villages across Norfolk and into Suffolk. HistoryThe network was launched on 23 September 2012, with the rebranding as several First Norfolk & Suffolk bus routes within the Norwich city area as colour-coded lines. The Charcoal Line was added most recently, being launched to Bungay in Suffolk in May 2017. The network began with the repainting of existing buses into Network Norwich livery, a variant of FirstGroup's national corporate Olympia scheme, "dipped" with colour-coded front ends; these buses included Dennis Tridents and Volvo B7TLs with Plaxton President bodywork, Volvo B9TLs with Wright Eclipse Gemini 2 bodywork, and Volvo B7Ls and Volvo B7RLEs with Wright Eclipse bodywork. The first brand new buses for the network, eight 10.8-metre, 37-seater Wright StreetLite DF single-deckers for the Charcoal Line, were delivered in November and December 2014. Eleven longer-wheelbase 41-seater Wright StreetLite Max single-deckers were delivered for the Green Line in November 2015, followed by nine Wright StreetDeck double-deckers for the Pink Line in April 2016. The Yellow Line was extended to Fakenham in north Norfolk on 3 April 2018, as First took over service X29 from Stagecoach in Norfolk, who ceased all operations in the area. On 3 September 2018, the Purple Line was extended with the launch of route 38a to Harleston. From 7 January 2019, the Charcoal Line is scheduled to be extended with Network Norwich taking over routes 40a and 41a from Konectbus.
