As we are now in our winter timetable season - which runs from 20 October 2025 to 26 March 2026, we are keen to remind our customers about ticket validity for our Turn Up and Go routes - specifically unused single and return tickets, or unused portions of 10-journey tickets.
A list of our Turn Up and Go routes can be found here.
Please read the information below. When planning to advance purchase tickets for Turn Up and Go routes, consider how you intend to use them before doing so.
Turn Up and Go single and return tickets are valid for use within the timetable season for which they are purchased - either winter or summer. They cannot be used outside that timetable season, and they are non-refundable.
