How does it work?
Ask for PlusBus when buying your train ticket. You can have the bus travel at the start, the finish, or both ends of your train journey. For each town you can travel as much as you like by bus with your PlusBus ticket within the urban area. PlusBus can be added to most types of train ticket:
- train station ticket offices
- self-service ticket machines at selected stations
- through Great Western Railway telesales on 03457 000 125
- National Rail appointed travel agents
Simply ask for PlusBus when buying your train ticket. It's more convenient than buying separate tickets and having to carry change for bus fares! What's more you can pay with cash, credit or debit card.
