Frequently asked questions

Where does the number 46 bus run?

31 buses are numbered 46, in Oxford, Bristol, Luton, Chelmsford, Preston, Bury St Edmunds, Kirkcaldy, Widnes, Lurgan, Guildford, Leven, Kings Lynn and 18 more places. Each one is listed above by area, with its timetable, stops and live map.

Why are there so many different 46 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 46, and 31 of them do. The 46 in Oxford has no connection to the 46 in Bristol: different operator, different road, different timetable.

How do I find the right 46 bus timetable?

Find your part of the country in the list above and open the 46 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 46 bus the same route in every town?

No. These are 31 unrelated services that happen to share a number, run by 28 different operators. Fares, timetables and accessibility differ on each one, so always open the specific 46 for your area.
