Live updates of bus arrivals – Not all bus stops have electronic readouts of arrivals anymore. These have been replaced (except at strategic stops around London) by access to live updates if you have access to a mobile phone. Each bus stop shows a unique code number you can text to get a live update of when the next buses will arrive at that stop. There is also a selection of apps you can download to your mobile phone to personalise with the stops you use the most.

Bus stops show what buses stop there and their routes. Check the front of the bus too as the final destination will be given, in case it is not going the full route.

Tube and bus maps

The Students’ Union can supply you with tube and bus maps and they are also available at London Underground stations
