If you’re taking a trip on the 477 bus, you’ll need to plan your journey carefully, because the timetable changes every day.
The 477 bus serves the famous Holy Island, also known as Lindisfarne, off the coast of Northumberland.
It’s one of the UK’s 43 ‘sometimes’ islands that are only accessible at low tide. As such, the timetable is dependent on when the causeway to the island isn’t submerged by water during high tide.

The bus-on-the-tide may be unique to this route, but plane-on-the-tide to Castlebay also comes to mind, as do some ferry routes which are tidal.
