Welcome to National Public Transport Information

Welcome to the www.nationalpti.co.uk website for comprehensive and impartial public transport information across Great Britain for all modes of public transport. We hope you like our site, renamed from www.travelinesw.com. It includes real-time information for journeys in the next hour or so, route timetables, bus stop timetables, route maps details of day and season tickets, a growing number of point to point single and return fares and is designed to be fully responsive for mobile and tablet users.

Our website contains:

  • Plan My Trip – our journey planner for trips across Great Britain as a whole (with results based on real time information for south west England where available)
  • Get Departure Times and Maps – for next departures from bus stops (using real time information where available) and stop by stop, zoomable route maps for each route
  • Travel Updates – for planned disruption information affecting your journey
  • My Regular Trip – a personal journey plan for your regular trips
  • Stop Timetable – for a printable list of all departures from your favourite stops
  • Route Map – for viewing, downloading and printing individual route maps
  • Route Timetable – for viewing, downloading and printing individual timetables
  • Contact details for operators and local authorities from our home page
  • Links to download our free iOS and Android mobile apps from app stores.

This service is provided by a consortium of local authorities and the major transport operators in the area. It’s more cost-effective to work this way. We also collaborate with other regions, Transport for West Midlands, Liverpool City Region and Transport for London. You can contact us at info@nationalpti.co.uk with comments and feedback on our site. Please note that this should NOT be used to request journey plans or timetable queries. These are available from the www.nationalpti.co.uk website or our National PTI mobile apps as above.

National PTI the company

In 1999 Government established a multi-modal National Public Transport Information Service, branded ‘traveline’. National Public Transport Information Ltd (originally South West PTI), is the not-for-profit company set up by local authorities and bus operators in the south west of England to implement and operate the enquiry service across the wider south west (including Hampshire & the Solent area, Oxfordshire, Bedfordshire and Suffolk).

We update our data several times each week and pride ourselves in providing unbiased, comprehensive and accurate public transport journey information. This gives passengers the full picture when planning their journeys, encouraging use of public transport.

We continue to provide data to power our own and partner member websites and mobile apps and the traveline service including phone enquiry line. Our data is also used by many third party apps and websites, from small independent developers to Google. We produce a UK and Ireland-wide mapping base for our partners, based on the Open Street Mapping system. Our database is used by local authorities and operators to power real-time information systems, provide publicity material such as bus stop timetable information and provide exports to mapping, GIS and accessibility planning systems. We also host IT systems and hold contracts used by our partners.

Thank you for your support, we hope you enjoy using our services.
