Tickets on the 55C
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 27 October 2026. Prices for singles and returns are under Fares above; for the others, check with Vision Bus.
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 Vision Bus before you travel. Everything above is an ordinary week.
Not published yet: Christmas Day, 28 December and New Year's Day. Operators often publish festive timetables only a few weeks ahead, so check again nearer the date.
