Frequently asked questions
Why are there so many different 49 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 49, and 37 of them do. The 49 in Newcastle upon Tyne has no connection to the 49 in Nottingham: different operator, different road, different timetable.
How do I find the right 49 bus timetable?
Find your part of the country in the list above and open the 49 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 49 bus the same route in every town?
No. These are 37 unrelated services that happen to share a number, run by 34 different operators. Fares, timetables and accessibility differ on each one, so always open the specific 49 for your area.
