What is PLUSBUS?
Plusbus is a discount price ticket for unlimited bus travel that you buy at the same time as your train ticket. So you pay for your complete train and bus journey in one transaction - much more convenient than buying separate tickets.
Bus travel can be at the start, the finish, or both ends of your train journey. So PlusBus is ideal for passengers who need to use buses at either end of their journey.

How does it work?
