Frequently asked questions
Where does the N1 bus run?
15 buses are numbered N1, in Belfast, Aberdeen, Oxford, Birkenhead, Poole, Southampton, Lancaster, Guildford, Douglas, Edinburgh, London, Newport and 3 more places. Each one is listed above by area, with its timetable, stops and live map.
Why are there so many different N1 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 N1, and 15 of them do. The N1 in Belfast has no connection to the N1 in Aberdeen: different operator, different road, different timetable.
How do I find the right N1 bus timetable?
Find your part of the country in the list above and open the N1 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 N1 bus the same route in every town?
No. These are 15 unrelated services that happen to share a number, run by 15 different operators. Fares, timetables and accessibility differ on each one, so always open the specific N1 for your area.
What does the “N1” in the bus number mean?
A number starting with N is usually a night service — 81% of them run between midnight and dawn. It is a convention operators choose to follow rather than a national rule, so check the specific N1 for your area in the list above. See our guide to what UK bus route numbers mean for the letters that are reliable and the ones that are not.
