Single Ticket - Adult · Single Ticket - Child
Ticket types come from Nu-Venture's own fares data on the Bus Open Data Service, last updated 9 April 2021 — over 5 years ago, so what is sold today may differ. 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 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.
