Frequently asked questions
Where does the N30 bus run?
2 buses are numbered N30, in Musselburgh & Heathrow Airport. Each one is listed above by area, with its timetable, stops and live map.
Why are there so many different N30 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 N30, and 2 of them do. The N30 in Musselburgh has no connection to the N30 in Heathrow Airport: different operator, different road, different timetable.
How do I find the right N30 bus timetable?
Find your part of the country in the list above and open the N30 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 N30 bus the same route in every town?
No. These are 2 unrelated services that happen to share a number, run by 2 different operators. Fares, timetables and accessibility differ on each one, so always open the specific N30 for your area.
What does the “N30” 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 N30 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.
