If you’re travelling by train and need the bus
at either end of the journey, ask for PLUSBUS.
It’s a simple, easy-to-use bus add-on to your
rail ticket and lets you travel on most buses
within the local PLUSBUS area as many times
as you like.

is PLUSBUS?
It’s quicker and cheaper than stopping to buy
tickets for each leg of your journey.
Buy your PLUSBUS ticket in advance from any
staffed rail station. No more queues, simply
show your ticket on the bus and off you go!

How
does it work?
The cost of the PLUSBUS ticket will be the cost
of the rail ticket plus an additional amount for
each day of bus travel. It’s simple and saves you
money compared to the cost of multiple bus
journeys.
However, PLUSBUS tickets can’t be bought
with rail tickets for train journeys which are
entirely within one PLUSBUS area. Check that
you can use PLUSBUS before you travel by
visiting www.intalink.org.uk.
Buy your ticket in advance, and then you can
use it to catch a bus to the station to begin
your journey.
Where
PLUSBUS can be purchased with Single, Day
Return, all types of period returns and rail
season tickets. All season tickets with PLUSBUS
allow unlimited bus travel in the local area for
the whole period of your rail ticket.

www.plusbus.info
can I buy one?
You can buy PLUSBUS at any staffed rail
station as an add-on to any rail journey to or
from participating stations. You can also
purchase PLUSBUS day tickets on-line at
www.thameslinkrailway.com.
You can check to see which stations are
included by visiting www.plusbus.info for
