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. Switch a table to All stops for every stop it calls at, or open a stop's own page for live departures there.

Most single fares in England are capped at £3 until 31 Dec 2026, then £2 — check with National Express Coventry whether this route takes part. Details →

Tickets on the X1

National Express Coventry publishes singles, day tickets and season tickets on this route for adults, children, students and older passengers.

Adult nBUS · Child nBUS · Group nBUS · Child Single · Adult Daysaver

…and 40 more tickets on this route.

A multi-operator ticket covers this route — it's valid on other companies' buses in the area too, which usually beats buying singles if you change buses.

Ticket types come from National Express Coventry's own fares data on the Bus Open Data Service, last updated 14 July 2026. That dataset lists what's sold, not what it costs, so check prices with National Express Coventry.

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 National Express Coventry before you travel. Everything above is an ordinary week.

Not published yet: Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, 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.

Frequently asked questions

The X1 runs 24 hours a day, so there is no first or last X1 bus — the night timetable is below.

What time is the last X1 bus?

There is no last X1 bus: the X1 runs through the night, every night it runs.

How much does the X1 bus cost?

Most single fares in England are capped at £3 until 31 December 2026 (then £2 from 1 January 2027). National Express Coventry day and weekly tickets can work out cheaper if you travel more than twice a day.
