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.

Christmas & bank holidays
These dates are not the usual timetable for the day they fall on. They come from the operator’s published data, which for Christmas and New Year is often late or incomplete, so check with Nu-Venture before you travel. Everything above is an ordinary week.
Not published yet: Christmas Day, Boxing Day, 28 December, 29 December, 30 December and New Year's Day. Operators often publish festive timetables only a few weeks ahead, so check again nearer the date.
- Christmas Eve — Thursday, 24 December 2026 The operator’s data lists more buses on this date than on an ordinary Thursday (10 journeys each way, against 6), which usually means two timetables have been added together by mistake. Check with Nu-Venture before you travel.
- New Year's Eve — Thursday, 31 December 2026 towards Maidstone: 4 journeys, first 07:45 towards Twydall: 4 journeys, first 08:41
