Frequently asked questions
Where does the number 490 bus run?
8 buses are numbered 490, in Doncaster, Gravesend, Leominster, London, Kexborough, Barugh Green, Donegal & Port Bannatyne. Each one is listed above by area, with its timetable, stops and live map.
Why are there so many different 490 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 490, and 8 of them do. The 490 in Doncaster has no connection to the 490 in Gravesend: different operator, different road, different timetable.
How do I find the right 490 bus timetable?
Find your part of the country in the list above and open the 490 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 490 bus the same route in every town?
No. These are 8 unrelated services that happen to share a number, run by 8 different operators. Fares, timetables and accessibility differ on each one, so always open the specific 490 for your area.
