Frequently asked questions
Where does the number 266 bus run?
3 buses are numbered 266, in London, Hellingly & Shotts. Each one is listed above by area, with its timetable, stops and live map.
Why are there so many different 266 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 266, and 3 of them do. The 266 in London has no connection to the 266 in Hellingly: different operator, different road, different timetable.
How do I find the right 266 bus timetable?
Find your part of the country in the list above and open the 266 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 266 bus the same route in every town?
No. These are 3 unrelated services that happen to share a number, run by 3 different operators. Fares, timetables and accessibility differ on each one, so always open the specific 266 for your area.
