Each column is one journey, headed by the time it sets off. 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.
Tickets on the 42
LMS Travel listed day tickets and season tickets on this route for adults when it last published its fares.
Worcestershire Connecta
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 LMS Travel's own fares data on the Bus Open Data Service, last updated 6 March 2024 — over 2 years ago, so what is sold today may differ. That dataset lists what's sold, not what it costs, so check prices with LMS Travel.
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 LMS Travel before you travel. Everything above is an ordinary week.
Not published yet: Boxing Day. Operators often publish festive timetables only a few weeks ahead, so check again nearer the date.
