Each column is one journey, headed by the time it sets off and where it finishes — 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 104 coach?
The first 104 departure on weekdays leaves at 08:00 (check the full timetable below for your stop, as times vary along the route — weekend times can differ).
What time is the last 104 coach?
The last 104 on weekdays leaves its first stop at 11:10. Always check the timetable for your specific stop — later stops are reached after this time.
How much does the 104 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 104 coach?
The 104 is operated by National Express.
