Plusbus
What is Plusbus?
Plusbus adds unlimited bus travel around town to your train ticket from around £2 a day!
Plusbus is a discount price ticket for unlimited bus travel around town that you purchase at the same time as your train ticket. Bus travel can be at the start, the finish, or both ends of your train journey. So you pay for your complete train and bus journey in one transaction at the station. Plusbus is available to 260 towns and cities across Britain, including: Birmingham, Coventry, Milton Keynes, Northampton, Liverpool, Leighton Buzzard and many more.
How does it work?
For each town there is one zone that covers the whole urban area (your train journey must start or finish outside of this bus travel zone). With your Plusbus ticket you can travel as much as you like on all participating bus services anywhere within the zone.
Note: You cannot buy PLUSBUS if your train journey is between two stations wholly within the same town or PTE region i.e. the Network West Midlands area.
Easy to buy - and now available online!
Ask for Plusbus when buying your train ticket. You can buy a Plusbus ticket at all staffed rail station ticket offices, self-service ticket machines (at selected stations) by telephone through London Midland telesales (0844 811 0133) or online through our website.
If you're buying tickets online, you will be offered Plusbus as an 'add on' fare once you've selected your rail ticket.
