PLUSBUSBuy unlimited bus travel around town with your train ticket - from less than £2 a day!


What is PLUSBUS?

It’s a discount price ticket for unlimited bus travel around town (like a Bus Pass) that you buy with your train ticket. Bus travel can be at the start, the finish, or both ends of your train journey. So you pay for your complete train and bus journey in one easy transaction at the station (or by phone). It’s a great-value way to make your entire journey by public transport and reduce your carbon foot-print!

PLUSBUS is available to 240 towns and cities across Britain.

How does it work?

For each town there is one zone that covers the whole urban area (your train journey must start or finish outside of this bus travel zone). With your PLUSBUS ticket you can travel as much as you like on all participating bus services anywhere within the zone.

Great value

PLUSBUS ticket prices start at £1.60, with most priced around £2 to £3 a day, depending on the town or city. Save one-third off the PLUSBUS day ticket price with your Railcard (usual Railcard peak period restrictions apply). Children (aged 5-15) pay half the adult PLUSBUS day ticket price.
