“There are lots of exciting things we can do and are trying to engage with people to see what the most appropriate technology is to use.
“We expect the Yarmouth kiosk to be particularly well used because there is no information office at Market Gates.”
A number of buses using the station have been using temporary stops while work is carried on to extend the Market Gates Shopping Centre.
