How does it work?
Ask for PLUSBUS when buying your train ticket, for unlimited bus travel around town on all participating bus operators' services.
Your bus travel can be at the start, the finish, or both parts of your train journey. For each town there is one zone that covers the whole urban area. With your PLUSBUS ticket you can travel as much as you like by bus within this zone.
PLUSBUS can be added to most types of train ticket:
• single,
• day return,
• period return,
• adult season ticket (for set periods, to match your train season ticket: 7-days, 1-month, 3-months, a year).
Where do I buy PLUSBUS?
Simply ask for PLUSBUS when buying your train ticket. It can save you money and is more convenient than buying separate tickets. What's more you can pay with cash, credit or debit card.
