Frequently asked questions
Why are there so many different 61 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 61, and 44 of them do. The 61 in Liverpool has no connection to the 61 in Nottingham: different operator, different road, different timetable.
How do I find the right 61 bus timetable?
Find your part of the country in the list above and open the 61 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 61 bus the same route in every town?
No. These are 44 unrelated services that happen to share a number, run by 39 different operators. Fares, timetables and accessibility differ on each one, so always open the specific 61 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.
