↔ 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.

Want directions? Open the departure stop in Google Maps (opens in a new tab).
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.
