Scheduled bus times are shown if live times are not available. Normal data charges of your mobile phone operator apply. Speed and access to the service is subject to your network connection.
Although it is designed to work on mobile phones, you can try it now or find out more about how to get it on your phone.
Traveline-txt
If you can't get the NextBuses service on your phone you can check the next buses from a particular bus stop by sending the bus stop code in a txt.The bus stop code may be displayed on the bus stop flag or in the timetable case.
To use the service, simply type the stop code as a text message in your mobile phone - and send it to 84268. In Scotland txt the code to 0777 608 2 608 and in Yorkshire txt the code to 64422.
If the stop is a busy one, then you can also add the service number you want (leaving a space after the stop code) ... so your message might look like "bucdtdgj 66".
You will receive a message back, normally in less than a minute. Typically the message will show a clock time if the information comes from timetables (eg: 0935) but it will show an expected waiting time (eg: 5mins) if it comes from a real-time information system.
Remember the service is specific to an individual stop for travel in that one direction ... the code for the stop in the other direction will be different!
How much does it cost to use traveline-txt?" The message you send will cost your normal txt message charge. In some areas the reply will be free of charge. In most areas the reply will cost up to 25p.
