Frequently asked questions
What time is the first UK980 coach?
The first UK980 departure on weekdays leaves at 04:50 (check the full timetable below for your stop, as times vary along the route — weekend times can differ).
What time is the last UK980 coach?
The last UK980 on weekdays leaves its first stop at 23:20. Always check the timetable for your specific stop — later stops are reached after this time.
How much does the UK980 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 UK980 coach?
The UK980 is operated by FlixBus.
