What is the PlusBus, train ticket add on?

PlusBus is a discount price bus pass that you buy with your train ticket. It gives you unlimited bus travel (on participating operators’ services) to and from the rail station and around the whole urban area of the rail served town or city.

For each town there is one travel zone that covers the whole urban area. With a PlusBus ticket you can travel as much as you like by bus within this zone.

Why buy a PlusBus, train and bus combined ticket?

  • Save on urban transport
    Prices start from just £2 a day. It is almost always cheaper than buying a separate bus day pass or paying for two single bus fares.
  • Railcard Discount:
    If you have a Railcard, you get 1/3 off your PlusBus Day ticket. Children (5–15) also get 50% off.
  • Peak time bus travel, to off-peak trains
    There’s no peak-time restrictions on the bus. Hop on and off as many different bus companies as you like all day long within the town zone. You can also use the bus during  rush hour and get dropped at the station for an off-peak train.
  • Beat the Traffic:
    Leave the car at home and avoid city-centre congestion plus the costs of station parking, whilst doing your bit for the environment.
