Frequently asked questions
Where does the S3 bus run?
10 buses are numbered S3, in Oxford, London, Sligo, Worcester, Ilton, Dent Village, Beddgelert, Harrogate & Ormsgill. Each one is listed above by area, with its timetable, stops and live map.
Why are there so many different S3 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 S3, and 10 of them do. The S3 in Oxford has no connection to the S3 in London: different operator, different road, different timetable.
How do I find the right S3 bus timetable?
Find your part of the country in the list above and open the S3 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 S3 bus the same route in every town?
No. These are 10 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 S3 for your area.
