Timetable posters and leaflets

Timetable posters are provided at the majority of bus stops in York.

These are generally produced by City of York Council to a standard design, showing specific times for every bus service calling at that stop.

Roadside timetable posters for the U1 & U2 services are produced by First York due to the need for regular term-time and holiday timetable changes. Please also note that First York produce roadside timetable posters for any stops in the University of York Campus Zone i.e. they even produce them for stops within the Campus Zone which aren’t served by the U1 & U2 services.

Roadside timetable posters and other signage displayed at the Park & Ride sites is also produced by First York.

Timetable leaflets are produced by bus operators. If you find any errors or omissions in these please contact the relevant bus operator.

Timing points

A timing point is a stop on a bus route where the bus must wait until its published departure time.

For stops which are nominated by the bus operator as timing points, the departure times are printed in bold on the timetable poster. You can be certain that these departures will leave the stop no earlier than the time shown.

For stops which are not a timing point, the times shown on the poster are approximate and buses may pass the stop shortly before the published time. Please arrive at least a couple of minutes before the published time to be sure of catching your bus.

Issues with timetable posters in the York area

In most instances, the information on roadside timetable posters should match the information that is on bus operators’ websites, so if departure information on those timetables is very different from what is showing on the bus operator’s website, then please email buses@york.gov.uk.

Please note that when Park & Ride timetables are displayed on roadside timetable posters, the following statement should be displayed either below or above the Park & Ride departure times: ‘P & R Service will operate an uplifted timetable during summer, Christmas & Easter Holidays and during the Christmas Market’. During the Holidays and the Christmas Market, the Park & Ride departure times on the roadside timetable posters may therefore be different to what is showing on First York’s website.
