Title: Catch The Bus Week 2015
Post by: Stu on June 22, 2015, 08:19:45 PM
Network West Midlands are giving away free 1-day nBus tickets, and there's a chance to win a free 4-week nBus ticket:

Also, as reported in the Central Buses thread, passengers on the X73 service between Tamworth Estates and Birmingham can claim a free one-week ticket for use next week:

Signed up for the free ticket - what you actually get is a 1 day nNetwork ticket, can be used on any day in July (it comes with the year and month already scratched off).  So not just restricted to the bus, and not to just any day within the Catch the Bus Week!

Will it make me use the bus more - not really, but handy for a day of bashing I suppose!

Mine came in the post today, only just noticed that it is an nNetwork ticket! It is correct though, that it can only be used in July 2015, as the month and year have already been scratched off. Still, can treat myself to a nice day out sometime next month!

Mine arrived on Friday.

Will it make me use public transport more, no, but I always use the bus or train whenever I can and it has tempted me to try the Midlands Metro to Wolverhampton, a place I've only ever passed through on a train.

Still waiting for mine, how long did it take to arrive?

They were being sent out via 1st Class post, so shouldn't take more than a couple of days to arrive.

Looks like the offer has now ended though.

I applied for mine late evening on Wednesday 24 June and it arrived Friday 26 June, even though it was by 2nd class post.

Can I say many thanks to @Stu for pointing out the offer.

Does anyone know where to buy one of the nNetwork tickets for a days travel? I received one of the free ones and really enjoyed a day out. When it came to buying another one for the future though I drew a blank in Birmingham, with nobody able in the New Street travel centre able to say where to get one.

You can buy them on the day on bus, train or tram.

£6.80 off peak weekdays, all day weekends
£8.00 all day weekdays I believe

£8.10 for an all day ticket, or £6.40 for a day ticket with train travel after 9:30am.

Buy on bus, from a staffed rail station, or the New Street or Wolverhampton Bus Station information centres.
