Frequently asked questions
Where does the 13S bus run?
2 buses are numbered 13S, in Dereham & Plymouth. Each one is listed above by area, with its timetable, stops and live map.
Why are there so many different 13S buses?
Route numbers in the UK are chosen locally — by the operator, or by the local transport authority that tenders the service — not from any national list. Nothing stops two towns hundreds of miles apart both running a 13S, and 2 of them do. The 13S in Dereham has no connection to the 13S in Plymouth: different operator, different road, different timetable.
How do I find the right 13S bus timetable?
Find your part of the country in the list above and open the 13S that starts or finishes near you — each one links to its full timetable, every stop, a live map and its fares. If you know the stop you'll be waiting at, searching for the stop name instead gives you the next departures from that exact stop, which is more reliable than any timetable.
Is the 13S bus the same route in every town?
No. These are 2 unrelated services that happen to share a number, run by 2 different operators. Fares, timetables and accessibility differ on each one, so always open the specific 13S for your area.
What does the “13S” in the bus number mean?
A number ending in S is usually a school service — often one journey each way, and not in the holidays. It is a convention operators choose to follow rather than a national rule, so check the specific 13S for your area in the list above. See our guide to what UK bus route numbers mean for the letters that are reliable and the ones that are not.
