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.

Christmas & bank holidays

Not published yet: Christmas Day, Boxing Day, 28 December, New Year's Day and 2 January. Operators often publish festive timetables only a few weeks ahead, so check again nearer the date.
