Frequently asked questions
Where does the C3 bus run?
11 buses are numbered C3, in Dublin, Clitheroe, London, Retford, Chepstow, Chelmsford, Cobham, Swindon, Cranfield University & Point Clear. Each one is listed above by area, with its timetable, stops and live map.
Why are there so many different C3 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 C3, and 11 of them do. The C3 in Dublin has no connection to the C3 in Clitheroe: different operator, different road, different timetable.
How do I find the right C3 bus timetable?
Find your part of the country in the list above and open the C3 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 C3 bus the same route in every town?
No. These are 11 unrelated services that happen to share a number, run by 11 different operators. Fares, timetables and accessibility differ on each one, so always open the specific C3 for your area.
