Frequently asked questions
Where does the number 71 bus run?
35 buses are numbered 71, in Newcastle upon Tyne, Nottingham, Sheffield, Derby, Gloucester, Chelmsford, Hereford, Maidstone, Guildford, Barnstaple, Carlisle, Chester-le-Street and 22 more places. Each one is listed above by area, with its timetable, stops and live map.
Why are there so many different 71 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 71, and 35 of them do. The 71 in Newcastle upon Tyne has no connection to the 71 in Nottingham: different operator, different road, different timetable.
How do I find the right 71 bus timetable?
Find your part of the country in the list above and open the 71 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 71 bus the same route in every town?
No. These are 35 unrelated services that happen to share a number, run by 33 different operators. Fares, timetables and accessibility differ on each one, so always open the specific 71 for your area.
