Frequently asked questions

Why are there so many different 26A 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 26A, and 13 of them do. The 26A in Nottingham has no connection to the 26A in Newport: different operator, different road, different timetable.

How do I find the right 26A bus timetable?

Find your part of the country in the list above and open the 26A 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 26A bus the same route in every town?

No. These are 13 unrelated services that happen to share a number, run by 13 different operators. Fares, timetables and accessibility differ on each one, so always open the specific 26A for your area.
