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.
This is a long-distance coach, not a local bus — the £3 England fare cap
doesn't apply, and neither do local bus passes. Ember sets its own fares and prices by
demand, so booking ahead is usually far cheaper than paying on the day.
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 Ember before you travel. Everything above is an ordinary week.

Frequently asked questions
What time is the first E1 coach?
The E1 runs 24 hours a day, so there is no first or last E1 coach — the night timetable is below.
What time is the last E1 coach?
There is no last E1 coach: the E1 runs through the night, every night it runs.
How much does the E1 coach cost?
This is a long-distance coach service, so the England £3 bus fare cap does not apply — nor do local bus tickets or passes. Coach operators set their own fares and price by demand, so booking further ahead is usually much cheaper than buying on the day.
Who runs the E1 coach?
The E1 is operated by Ember.
