Frequently asked questions
Why are there so many different 50 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 50, and 39 of them do. The 50 in Birmingham has no connection to the 50 in Norwich: different operator, different road, different timetable.
How do I find the right 50 bus timetable?
Find your part of the country in the list above and open the 50 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 50 bus the same route in every town?
No. These are 39 unrelated services that happen to share a number, run by 35 different operators. Fares, timetables and accessibility differ on each one, so always open the specific 50 for your area.
Looking for the next bus rather than a timetable? Stops near you shows live departures. Browse all bus routes, every operator or timetables by town. Data from operators via the DfT Bus Open Data Service — see all sources.
