Frequently asked questions
Why are there so many different X1 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 X1, and 21 of them do. The X1 in Belfast has no connection to the X1 in Dublin: different operator, different road, different timetable.
How do I find the right X1 bus timetable?
Find your part of the country in the list above and open the X1 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 X1 bus the same route in every town?
No. These are 21 unrelated services that happen to share a number, run by 20 different operators. Fares, timetables and accessibility differ on each one, so always open the specific X1 for your area.
