2025 Further Afield Trips

We are pleased to announce the continuation of our further afield trips for 2025.

We do not have funding for this programme so the fares will be slightly higher, £13 (with a bus pass) £15 for non-bus pass holders.

We will endeavour to get every passenger onto at least one trip, we want to make it as fair as possible. We will have two buses for each trip, so we will have buses collecting in different areas but you can meet up with friends when you arrive.

These are designed to be Days Out! Generally passengers can choose what they want to do at each destination but if you want some help booking somewhere to eat we’re more than happy to help. Earlier pickups likely to make sure you have a full day out!
