Full stop-by-stop times, every departure
2 departures, stop by stop
At 15:30, two different buses leave — this working and the B10007 working to Thessaloniki (Macedonia terminal). The operator runs them as separate workings with different calling points; the matching time is not a duplicate.
↔ Scroll the table sideways to see every stop. — means the run does not call there; · means it calls but no time is published; +1 means the following morning; ? means the operator names the town but not this stop, so whether the run calls here is not something it tells us; and a blank cell means we hold nothing at all for that stop on that departure — not a denial, just no information. A ? means we do not know. This operator’s timetable names the town rather than each stop inside it, so for the other stops in that town it neither confirms nor denies the call — and we would rather say so than guess either way.

Route map
The line joins the stops in order. It is not the road the bus takes — it is a straight chord between points, so treat it as sequence, not geometry. A hollow, dashed stop marker means the coordinate is a village centre rather than a surveyed bus bay; tap it to see where it came from.
