The company's flagship route is the service 1, which operates between Norwich and Diss, calling at Burston, Long Stratton, Tasburgh, Flordon, Newton Flotman and travels into the city via Ipswich Road and Norwich City College.[9] This competes head to head with First's 35 route, which travels only as far as Long Stratton.[10] Simonds is the only company to run a Sunday service between Norwich, Long Stratton and Diss.This service travels directly along the A140.
