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.
Tickets on the X4
Stagecoach Midlands listed day tickets and season tickets on this route for adults and children when it last published its fares.
Adult nBUS · Child nBUS · Group nBUS · Adult nBUS 1 Week · Adult nBUS 4 Week · Adult nBUS 52 Week
…and 1 more ticket 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 Stagecoach Midlands's own fares data on the Bus Open Data Service, last updated 6 March 2024 — over 2 years ago, so what is sold today may differ. That dataset lists what's sold, not what it costs, so check prices with Stagecoach Midlands.
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 Stagecoach Midlands before you travel. Everything above is an ordinary week.
Not published yet: Christmas Day, Boxing Day, 28 December and New Year's Day. Operators often publish festive timetables only a few weeks ahead, so check again nearer the date.
