Traveline Services

Planning your journey

You can use the planner to find routes and times for travel anywhere in Great Britain, as well as to view live departures or look up timetables for buses, ferries, and trams.

You can start your journey from any address or place and go to any other. We’ll search all routes and times to find you a selection of journeys. You can choose when you want to travel, and use ‘advanced journey options’ to be more specific about the sort of journey that you’d like to make such as which mode you’d prefer to travel by.

Live bus times

If you'd like to get your departure times by SMS, you can text your local stop code to 84268 and you will receive a text back telling you the next departures from your stop. 

Your mobile operator will charge you for your text to 84268 at your standard network rate. We charge you 25 pence for the text that we send back. 

In Wales, Lincolnshire, Plymouth and Devon there is no charge for the response.

Call Centre

You can also plan your journey with the help of our telephone service by calling 0871 200 22 33. We charge 12 pence per minute from landlines and mobiles; this helps to cover the cost of providing this service. Your phone company may add its own access charge but it will tell you about this.
