Frequently asked questions
Which Royal Holloway bus routes are covered?
The RHU service from Diamond Bus (Hox Park, Royal Holloway Founder's Building, Egham Station) and the RH2 service from Diamond Bus between Royal Holloway and Huntersdale Campus (Monday to Friday, free for RHU staff and students). Every stop within walking distance of campus is included.
Where do the buses stop on the Royal Holloway campus?
The main campus stop is at the Founder's Building, closest to the Picture Gallery and Founder's Dining Hall. Coming from Egham railway station on the RHU, get off there for most of campus. Every stop is on the campus map if you're working out which one drops you closest to your lecture.
How do I get from Egham station to Royal Holloway by bus?
Take the Diamond Bus RHU from the bay outside the station. It costs £1 flat, runs roughly every 40 minutes, and stops at the Founder's Building before continuing to Hox Park. It's tracked live in the app so you can see exactly when the next one is due.
Are the bus times actually live or just timetables?
Live. The data is pulled from the operator's GPS feed, the same source bustimes.org and Citymapper use. You see predicted arrivals based on where each bus actually is, not the printed timetable. If a bus is running late, the app shows the late time.
Do the RHU and RH2 services run on weekends?
The RHU runs as a daily service per the Diamond Bus timetable, including weekends, with reduced frequency at quieter times. The RH2 to Huntersdale Campus runs Monday to Friday only. Both take a break over the Christmas, Easter and summer holidays and pick back up when term resumes. The app shows whatever bus is next so you don't have to track which service is operating.
Can I save my favourite stops?
Yes. Tap the save icon on any stop to pin it. Saved stops appear at the top of the Bus Times tab in one place. Sign in with Apple or Google to sync your pinned stops across iPhone and iPad.
Does it work off campus?
It covers every bus stop within walking distance of Royal Holloway, plus Egham, Englefield Green, Hox Park and stops up to Staines. If you're further afield the saved stops still work, but for live arrivals at random UK stops you want a national app like Citymapper.
How does this compare to the official Royal Holloway app?
The official Royal Holloway app, built on the Guidebook platform, doesn't have live bus times. It links to the static printed timetable on the RHUL intranet. RHUL Mobile is the only Royal Holloway app with live GPS-tracked arrivals.
Is it free? Do I need to sign in?
Yes, free. No account needed to see live bus times, just open the app and tap Bus Times. Optional sign-in with Apple or Google syncs your saved stops across devices.
