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.

National Express West Midlands publishes singles, day tickets and season tickets on this route for adults, children, students and older passengers.
Adult nBUS · Child nBUS · Group nBUS · Adult Single · Child Single
…and 68 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 National Express West Midlands's own fares data on the Bus Open Data Service, last updated 14 July 2026. That dataset lists what's sold, not what it costs, so check prices with National Express West Midlands.
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 National Express West Midlands 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.
