Tickets on the 653
Ashwood Travel listed season tickets on this route for school pupils when it last published its fares.
Annual School Year Ticket
Ticket types come from Ashwood Travel's own fares data on the Bus Open Data Service, last updated 3 October 2025 — over a year ago, so what is sold today may differ. That dataset lists what's sold, not what it costs, so check prices with Ashwood Travel.
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 Ashwood Travel 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.
