Bus services linking towns and villages in west Suffolk are being extended to run later into the evening - as well as Sundays and bank holidays.

The new timetable, introduced from Sunday, will see buses leave Bury St Edmunds at 22:30 BST and arrive in Sudbury at 23:38 between Mondays and Saturdays.

A Sunday service will also leave Bury St Edmunds at 09:45, with the last service of the day at 17:30.

Hedingham and Chambers bus services, run by Go East Anglia, operate along the 753 route. Managing director Gavin Smith said he was delighted there would be a "more accessible" timetable.

The route links Bury St Edmunds with Long Melford, Acton, Great Waldingfield, Lavenham, Cross Green, Stanningfield, Sicklesmere and Sudbury.
