Adult Single · Child Single · Adult nBUS · Child nBUS · Group nBUS
…and 7 more tickets on this route.
A multi-operator ticket covers this route — it's valid on other companies' buses in the area too, which usually beats buying singles if you change buses.
Ticket types come from Arriva Midlands's own fares data on the Bus Open Data Service, last updated 2 October 2026. Prices for singles and returns are under Fares above; for the others, check with Arriva Midlands.
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 Arriva Midlands before you travel. Everything above is an ordinary week.
Not published yet: Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day. Operators often publish festive timetables only a few weeks ahead, so check again nearer the date.
