Frequently asked questions
Where does the number 216 bus run?
12 buses are numbered 216, in Sheffield, Dudley, Manchester City Centre, Rotherham, Staines, Witney, Coleshill, Birkenhead, Bristol Airport, Cobh, Welwyn & Caldercruix. Each one is listed above by area, with its timetable, stops and live map.
Why are there so many different 216 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 216, and 12 of them do. The 216 in Sheffield has no connection to the 216 in Dudley: different operator, different road, different timetable.
How do I find the right 216 bus timetable?
Find your part of the country in the list above and open the 216 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 216 bus the same route in every town?
No. These are 12 unrelated services that happen to share a number, run by 12 different operators. Fares, timetables and accessibility differ on each one, so always open the specific 216 for your area.
