Through Traveline, you can also check the next buses from a particular bus stop by sending the bus stop code in a text.
The bus stop code may be displayed on the bus stop flag or in the timetable case, or you can search for it here (we have attached a list of all the bus stop codes for ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ and Bute).
To use the service, simply type the stop code as a text message in your mobile phone - and send it to .
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: 5 mins) 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!
