Tickets on the X36
Thames Travel publishes singles, day returns, day tickets and season tickets on this route for adults, children and young people.
Adult Single · Child Single · Adult MyBus Week · Cap Adult Single · Cap Child Single
…and 8 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 Thames Travel's own fares data on the Bus Open Data Service, last updated 1 October 2026. That dataset lists what's sold, not what it costs, so check prices with Thames 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 Thames Travel before you travel. Everything above is an ordinary week.
Not published yet: 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.
- Christmas Eve — Thursday, 24 December 2026 The operator’s data lists more buses on this date than on an ordinary Thursday (93 journeys in both directions together, against 54), which usually means two timetables have been added together by mistake. Check with Thames Travel before you travel.
- Monday, 28 December 2026 The operator’s data lists more buses on this date than on an ordinary Monday (93 journeys in both directions together, against 54), which usually means two timetables have been added together by mistake. Check with Thames Travel before you travel.
- New Year's Eve — Thursday, 31 December 2026 The operator’s data lists more buses on this date than on an ordinary Thursday (93 journeys in both directions together, against 54), which usually means two timetables have been added together by mistake. Check with Thames Travel before you travel.
