Frequently asked questions
Where does the W4 bus run?
7 buses are numbered W4, in Watford, Blanchardstown, Waterford, Kings Hill, London, Meppershall & Stornoway. Each one is listed above by area, with its timetable, stops and live map.
Why are there so many different W4 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 W4, and 7 of them do. The W4 in Watford has no connection to the W4 in Blanchardstown: different operator, different road, different timetable.
How do I find the right W4 bus timetable?
Find your part of the country in the list above and open the W4 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 W4 bus the same route in every town?
No. These are 7 unrelated services that happen to share a number, run by 7 different operators. Fares, timetables and accessibility differ on each one, so always open the specific W4 for your area.
