Tickets on the BK1

Stagecoach South East publishes singles on this route for adults.

Single (Fixed)

Ticket types come from Stagecoach South East's own fares data on the Bus Open Data Service, last updated 5 May 2026. That dataset lists what's sold, not what it costs, so check prices with Stagecoach South East.

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 Stagecoach South East 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.

Frequently asked questions

Can anyone use the BK1 bus?

Possibly not. Stagecoach South East's timetable data marks the BK1 as not open to the public — usually a closed-door school or works service that only pupils or staff with a pass can board. Its times are left off stop departure boards for that reason. Check with Stagecoach South East before relying on it.

What time is the first BK1 bus?

The first BK1 departure on weekdays leaves at 04:21 (check the full timetable below for your stop, as times vary along the route — weekend times can differ).

What time is the last BK1 bus?

The last BK1 on weekdays leaves its first stop at 02:00. Always check the timetable for your specific stop — later stops are reached after this time.

How much does the BK1 bus cost?

Stagecoach South East's timetable data marks the BK1 as not open to the public, so there may be no fare to pay or ticket to buy: seats on a closed-door school or works service usually go to pupils or staff with a pass from the school, college or employer. Check with Stagecoach South East before planning to use it.

Who runs the BK1 bus?

The BK1 is operated by Stagecoach South East.
