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.

Ticket types come from First Essex's own fares data on the Bus Open Data Service, last updated 4 September 2026. Prices for singles and returns are under Fares above; for the others, check with First Essex.
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 First Essex 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.
- Sunday, 27 December 2026 The operator’s data lists more buses on this date than on an ordinary Sunday (82 journeys in both directions together, against 51), which usually means two timetables have been added together by mistake. Check with First Essex before you travel.
- Tuesday, 29 December 2026 towards Galleywood: 73 journeys, first 05:40 towards Great Waltham: 73 journeys, first 05:00
- Wednesday, 30 December 2026 towards Galleywood: 73 journeys, first 05:40 towards Great Waltham: 73 journeys, first 05:00
