Tickets on the 223

Diamond Bus publishes singles, day tickets and season tickets on this route for adults and children.

Adult nBUS · Child nBUS · Group nBUS · Adult Single Capped · Child Single Capped

…and 16 more tickets on this route.

A multi-operator ticket covers this route — it's valid on other companies' buses in the area too, which usually beats buying singles if you change buses.

Ticket types come from Diamond Bus's own fares data on the Bus Open Data Service, last updated 26 September 2026. That dataset lists what's sold, not what it costs, so check prices with Diamond Bus.

Christmas & bank holidays

These dates are not the usual timetable for the day they fall on. They come from the operator’s published data, which for Christmas and New Year is often late or incomplete, so check with Diamond Bus before you travel. Everything above is an ordinary week.

Not published yet: Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, 28 December, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. Operators often publish festive timetables only a few weeks ahead, so check again nearer the date.
