Frequently asked questions
Where does the F1 bus run?
6 buses are numbered F1, in Exeter, Fareham, Ballymun, Flint, Formby & Maddiston. Each one is listed above by area, with its timetable, stops and live map.
Why are there so many different F1 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 F1, and 6 of them do. The F1 in Exeter has no connection to the F1 in Fareham: different operator, different road, different timetable.
How do I find the right F1 bus timetable?
Find your part of the country in the list above and open the F1 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 F1 bus the same route in every town?
No. These are 6 unrelated services that happen to share a number, run by 6 different operators. Fares, timetables and accessibility differ on each one, so always open the specific F1 for your area.
