Frequently asked questions

Where does the number 31 bus run?

50 buses are numbered 31, in Glasgow, Leicester, Sheffield, St Helens, Swansea, Lincoln, Walsall, Plymouth, Chelmsford, Preston, Glenrothes, Worcester and 33 more places. Each one is listed above by area, with its timetable, stops and live map.

Why are there so many different 31 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 31, and 50 of them do. The 31 in Glasgow has no connection to the 31 in Leicester: different operator, different road, different timetable.

How do I find the right 31 bus timetable?

Find your part of the country in the list above and open the 31 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 31 bus the same route in every town?

No. These are 50 unrelated services that happen to share a number, run by 47 different operators. Fares, timetables and accessibility differ on each one, so always open the specific 31 for your area.
