Tickets on the 53M

TransportConnect publishes singles on this route for adults and children.

£3 Adult Single

…and 3 more tickets on this route.

Ticket types come from TransportConnect's own fares data on the Bus Open Data Service, last updated 16 September 2026. That dataset lists what's sold, not what it costs, so check prices with TransportConnect.

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 TransportConnect before you travel. Everything above is an ordinary week.

Not published yet: Christmas Day, Boxing Day, 28 December and New Year's Day. Operators often publish festive timetables only a few weeks ahead, so check again nearer the date.
