Popped in Walsall Travelshop last night, to put some credit on my Swift PAYGO(mainly used for Brum & Metro trips!) & noticing the Travelshop was shut next Friday, asked the woman behind the counter, who was currently the agent for the ????? area (I'll spare the agent's blushes, but those of you know which area I live, will probably know who the agent is!), as my normal NBus Black Country pass was up Good Friday & Walsall TS was shut.

She said 'Be careful, as somehow the guy is issuing Manchester passes'.

I said to her, 'Good job I've put credit on this PAYGO then, so I can come down Saturday when you are open instead!'

If this is true, how the heck is the guy issuing Manchester tickets in the West Midlands?

If the shop has a PayPoint terminal, you can issue tickets for 1 day, 7, monthly and even in some cases yearly with pass holders for Manchester and other areas as per below with no restrictions
Some shops also have a facility to top up other network smart cards if they have the technology installed

Cardiff Bus

I see.

I think I'll stick to the Travelshop & go down Saturday, unless by some minor miracle, I can finish early next Thursday!
