Most single fares in England are capped at £3 until 31 Dec 2026, then £2 — check with Vision Bus whether this route takes part. Details →

Tickets on the 45

Vision Bus publishes singles and day returns on this route for adults, children and young people.

Ticket types come from Vision Bus's own fares data on the Bus Open Data Service, last updated 2026-09-18. That dataset lists what's sold, not what it costs — see published prices for Vision Bus.

Christmas & bank holidays

These dates are not the usual timetable for the day they fall on — they come from the operator’s own published calendar. Everything above is an ordinary week.
