Routes 66/250/240

Waltham Cross - Waltham Abbey - Wake Arms - Loughton - Debden

Note: A service 255 is also registered during Monday to Saturday daytimes, supposedly running between Waltham Cross and Debden via the same routeing.  The notional frequency was even increased on 22 June 2015 but there is considerable doubt whether the service is running at all. Service 255 is therefore omitted from this timetable.

Some Monday to Friday journeys shown below as route 66 may run as route 66B; sources differ as to which and when. One Sunday journey each way operates as route 251.

Mondays to Fridays           Saturdays           Sundays
