Ticket types come from Nu-Venture's own fares data on the Bus Open Data Service, last updated 13 April 2026. That dataset lists what's sold, not what it costs, so check prices with Nu-Venture.

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 Nu-Venture before you travel. Everything above is an ordinary week.

Not published yet: Christmas Day, 28 December, 29 December, 30 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.
