We now offer a £4.90 Day Ranger ticket, valid across our network as well as Midland Classic, D&G Bus and Select Bus Services. There is also a £3.00 child equivalent.

Catch our X55 (FAST from Tamworth) and connect at Lichfield with Midland Classic X12 (FAST to Burton-upon-Trent)!

Hate to think how much thats going to cost me if I did Walsall to Burton for the day?

Or would it be simpler using the train via New Street?

Excellent value!  I only hope I can find the time to give it a go.

It's because Central Buses are secretly financed/bankrolled by Julian Peddle the big cheese in charge of D&G Bus that's why this has happened & before anyone asks how I know I'm not at liberty to say but I know it's true

Hi Will,

There is no connection with D&G Bus other than a combined insurance group. I would politely remind you about the consequences of publically posting inaccurate or disparaging comments about businesses you have no connection with.

Where is that advertised please? The ticket is mentioned on the Midland Classic website, but with no mention of Central buses.

Yeah but I'd have to either use my Nbus to Walsall then  get to Lichfield via Arriva, as theres only one Central bus per day each direction, then X12 to Burton or Daysaver to either Sutton, Four Oaks or Mere Green & X12 from there.

Then you have to be careful you come back early enough as well!

Other Walsall Tony

Three return journeys on 35B?

Jesus.... You've got an amazing value ticket here and all you do is moan about how much it would cost and how to get to where you can use it?
I think this sort of co-operation is superb, well done to those involved in the deal

If you want to go to Walsall, why would you get a bus to Tamworth, only to get a bus back to Lichfield?
The 16:00 from Burton does get into Lichfield at 16:22, 35B to Walsall arrives at 16:23, though if the X12 is late you may end up missing the last 35B.

That's why I added Tamworth in as it is always nice to go to various places and was weary with a delay on the X12
