Tips for passengers

Buses do not start before 05:25 on weekdays, so plan around these times for early appointments. Weekends give a much more frequent service, so it is the better day for an unplanned trip. The journey takes about 70 minutes on weekdays, so allow a margin for appointments at either end.
