Tickets on the 33
Moving People listed singles and returns on this route when it last published its fares.
Return Ticket - Adult · Single Ticket - Adult · Return Ticket - Young Person · Single Ticket - Young Person
Ticket types come from Moving People's own fares data on the Bus Open Data Service, last updated 3 December 2021 — over 4 years ago, so what is sold today may differ. That dataset lists what's sold, not what it costs, so check prices with Moving People.
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 Moving People 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.
