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.

Adult Single Capped · Child Single Capped · New Adult Single · New Child Single · nBus Day Family · nNetwork One Day
…and 9 more tickets on this route.
A multi-operator ticket covers this route — it's valid on other companies' buses in the area too, which usually beats buying singles if you change buses.
Ticket types come from Diamond Bus's own fares data on the Bus Open Data Service, last updated 26 September 2026. That dataset lists what's sold, not what it costs, so check prices with Diamond Bus.
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 Diamond Bus before you travel. Everything above is an ordinary week.
Not published yet: Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, 28 December, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. Operators often publish festive timetables only a few weeks ahead, so check again nearer the date.
