Frequently asked questions

Where does the number 98 bus run?

19 buses are numbered 98, in Gloucester, Ipswich, Derry Londonderry, Solihull, Taunton, Manchester City Centre, Newcastle Under Lyme, Hastings, Sheffield, Tavistock, Hitchin, Shoreham-by-Sea and 7 more places. Each one is listed above by area, with its timetable, stops and live map.

Why are there so many different 98 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 98, and 19 of them do. The 98 in Gloucester has no connection to the 98 in Ipswich: different operator, different road, different timetable.

How do I find the right 98 bus timetable?

Find your part of the country in the list above and open the 98 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 98 bus the same route in every town?

No. These are 19 unrelated services that happen to share a number, run by 19 different operators. Fares, timetables and accessibility differ on each one, so always open the specific 98 for your area.
