Timetable

Notes from Ember's timetable
  • Pre-book online

Each column is one journey, headed by the time it sets off. 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.

Not published yet: Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, 27 December, 28 December, 29 December, 30 December, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, 2 January and 4 January. Operators often publish festive timetables only a few weeks ahead, so check again nearer the date.
