Frequently asked questions
Where does the number 163 bus run?
6 buses are numbered 163, in Leeds, Manchester City Centre, Carrickfergus, Drogheda, London & Leighton Buzzard. Each one is listed above by area, with its timetable, stops and live map.
Why are there so many different 163 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 163, and 6 of them do. The 163 in Leeds has no connection to the 163 in Manchester City Centre: different operator, different road, different timetable.
How do I find the right 163 bus timetable?
Find your part of the country in the list above and open the 163 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 163 bus the same route in every town?
No. These are 6 unrelated services that happen to share a number, run by 6 different operators. Fares, timetables and accessibility differ on each one, so always open the specific 163 for your area.
