Each column is one journey, headed by the time it sets off; one that finishes short of the usual end says where ("to …") — not every journey on this route runs the whole way. A · means that journey does not stop there. Times are shown at the route's main timing stops — buses serve all stops in between. Switch a table to All stops for every stop it calls at, or open a stop's own page for live departures there.

Frequently asked questions
What time is the first 040 coach?
The first 040 departure on weekdays leaves at 03:45 (check the full timetable below for your stop, as times vary along the route — weekend times can differ).
What time is the last 040 coach?
The last 040 on weekdays leaves its first stop at 01:00. Always check the timetable for your specific stop — later stops are reached after this time.
How much does the 040 coach cost?
This is a long-distance coach service, so the England £3 bus fare cap does not apply — nor do local bus tickets or passes. Coach operators set their own fares and price by demand, so booking further ahead is usually much cheaper than buying on the day.
Who runs the 040 coach?
The 040 is operated by National Express.
