PLUSBUS
PLUSBUS is 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 rail journey.

PLUSBUS is available at over 300 railway stations nation-wide, and can be bought as an add-on to the start or finish of your journey (or both).

How does PLUSBUS work?

PLUSBUS can be added to most types of train ticket:
- single
- day return
- period return (at twice the daily rate, date of return journey needs to be stated)
- season tickets (for set periods, to match your train season ticket: 7-days, 1-month, 3-months, a year).
Great value
