And a good amount of mileage for that price too

Already planning a trip on it once it's available, it covers the whole X51 and 54/54A too, according to the NXWM Twitter when I asked them.

This was launched yesterday at First Adderley Green depot. 6942 was in attendance for the photo shoot I hear.

Considering Staffs CC's previous cuts to public transport funds (obviously not entirely their fault, central government cuts etc...) this is interesting
There's mention that it includes Swadlincote but if @StourValley98 is correct then I wonder if it also includes say the Arriva 70 into Wolves
Only £7 as well, not bad that, only a little bit more than the Arriva Midlands ticket

[Solo1]

So you could go to stoke for £7 + around that area from Walsall/Wolverhampton

Can this ticket be used on trains then?

No.

So lets see if I've got this right then.

I can get on an Arriva 1 or 2 or a NX X51 in Bloxwich for £7 a day & I could go to Stoke!

I could go out on the first bus as well!

Yes, I believe so. I'd double check with Arriva, but if NXWM have said it's valid on the full X51, then it should be just as fine on the 1 or 2.

Bit confused here.

If this is a bus only ticket, what is it doing in the railway section of the forum?

Surely it should be in buses General Discussion?

I have already moved it to a more appropriate section. ;)

Just had another look at NX's Twitter feed.  The Knot only can be purchased within the boundaries of Staffordshire according to NXWM.  So, if you are travelling into Staffordshire you'd need to either have a pass, Daysaver or Single ticket to cover you to the Staffordshire border, then purchase The Knot once the bus is in Staffs.

They previously told me it's valid on the whole X51 route?

See the area map here:

The map shows the boundary points where the Knot is valid to.
