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.

Most single fares in England are capped at £3 until 31 Dec 2026, then £2 — check with CT4N whether this route takes part. Details →

Tickets on the 18a

CT4N publishes singles on this route for adults and young people.

U19 Single · U19 Weekly · Adult Single · Adult Weekly · U19 Day Return · U19 Robin Hood · Adult Day Return · Adult Robin Hood

Ticket types come from CT4N's own fares data on the Bus Open Data Service, last updated 3 August 2026. That dataset lists what's sold, not what it costs, so check prices with CT4N.

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 CT4N before you travel. Everything above is an ordinary week.

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