Fare Changes from Sunday 30th March

From Sunday 30th March 2025, there will be fare changes taking place across the services that we operate.

Any increases to fares are never welcome, however the cost of operating buses continues to rise. 

Insurance for our vehicles this year alone has resulted in a 5% increase alongside fluctuating diesel prices and changes to employer taxation costs as announced by the Chancellor in the Autumn Statement of 2024.
