Frequently asked questions
Why are there so many different m3 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 m3, and 13 of them do. The m3 in Glasgow has no connection to the m3 in Bristol: different operator, different road, different timetable.
How do I find the right m3 bus timetable?
Find your part of the country in the list above and open the m3 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 m3 bus the same route in every town?
No. These are 13 unrelated services that happen to share a number, run by 10 different operators. Fares, timetables and accessibility differ on each one, so always open the specific m3 for your area.
