Where can I travel with the Travelcard?

The concessionary National Travelcard provides free travel on local services throughout England.

  • ‘Local’ services in this case are those buses which are part of the local bus network. In a few instances this may include longer distance bus and coach services. You will need to check with the operator or local authority before you travel to see if they are included.
  • Journeys can still be made into Wales, from South Gloucestershire, on the X11 and X14 direct services to Newport and Chepstow, however the Travelcard cannot be used for other services once in Wales.
  • The concessionary National Travelcard is not valid for the sightseeing tour buses in Bath and Bristol.
  • Some long-distance coach operators, such as National Express, Berrys and Bakers Dolphin will give you a discount. You need to ask them about this when you book your ticket.
  • Please note – free bus travel is only available in England and not the UK.
  • You cannot use your pass in taxis or on trains.
