Tickets on the 501

A B Coaches listed season tickets on this route when it last published its fares.

Term Ticket 501 Pass - School Pupil

Ticket types come from A B Coaches' own fares data on the Bus Open Data Service, last updated 13 June 2022 — 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 A B Coaches.

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 A B Coaches before you travel. Everything above is an ordinary week.

Not published yet: Christmas Eve, 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.
