English Pass Validity
Diamond Travelcards for North Somerset, Bristol, Bath and North East Somerset and South Gloucestershire are accepted on our services for all journeys when there is one part of the journey in England. They are not valid for journeys between bus stops wholly within Wales or when the journey doesn't enter England. They are only valid from 09:00 to 23:00 Mondays to Fridays and all day on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays. The Diamond Travelcards with Companion entitlement also allows a companion to travel if required, with the same geographic and time restrictions as detailed above.

South Gloucestershire and Bristol City also issue Platinum Travelcards if you are sight impaired. These cards have the same geographic and time restrictions as Diamond Travelcards without the time constraints, meaning they are valid all day and every day for journeys starting in South Gloucestershire and for journeys starting in Bristol City.

Gloucestershire Concessionary Bus Pass and ENCTS Concessionary passes from elsewhere in England are valid on our services for all journeys when there is one part of the journey in England and only from 09:30 am on weekdays and at any time at weekends and public holidays. They are not valid for journeys between bus stops wholly within Wales or when the journey doesn't enter England. No companion or other enhancements are offered even if normally available for that pass in the cardholder’s local area.
