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 E4 coach?

The first E4 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 E4 coach?

The last E4 on weekdays leaves its first stop at 20:25. Always check the timetable for your specific stop — later stops are reached after this time.

How much does the E4 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 E4 coach?

The E4 is operated by Ember.
