Great news!

But just to clarify, they are still NOT valid in Leamington Spa are they?  ::)

[Ash]

Will the one day nBUS still be £4.20.

[Bob]

Why not Cannock for Christs sake? More buses enter the WM from there than most of the bloody places listed!!!! A joke!

Great news!

No, this just seems to sensibly ensure that nBus tickets are valid in the same areas as nNetwork tickets.

[Bob]

cannock has the 1,2,2a,32/3,x51,810, 68,70 all going into the Nbus area its ridiculous they arent allowed!

[Bob]

Arriva's day ticket is almost 50% more bloody expensive and you cant use it to make connecting journeys once in the Wm area hardly.

You say that, which to an extent is true, but you have to draw a line somewhere, using that logic you'd have to include places like Tamwroth, because it has the 110, 116 and X73 that run into the nBus zone, or maybe Stratford upon Avon because the X20 runs into the nBus zone?  They have to draw the line somewhere, the'll never please everyone, including yourself!

A week NBus Black Country may be of occasional interest to me.

[Bob]

Cannock is much closer to the nbus area than Tamworth! So we can continue to get ripped off by Arriva with their monopoly and extortionate single fares then? it would make sense to include cannock in the area, its ridiculous that to make connections you have to buy two tickets, costing a total of £10.20 when the area is no more than 3.5-4 miles over the bloody boundary. Not exactly conducive to integrated transport is it? Staffordshire ( particularly cannock district) gets a crap deal compared to the WM you only have to look at the bloody bus shelters ( where there are any!) some of them date from the 70s at least!

[JB93]

Is Coleshill not included? It's only just over the border into Warwickshire after all.

See from Centro announcement there will be an Nbus ticket for Coventry. The days of NXC buses running to Leamingotn Spa may be numbered now that Stagecoach run a 7/8 minute service between Warwick University and Leamington Spa during term time. The U1 service is every 15 minutes, with extra journeys which in other parts of the country would be known as Magic Buses. A ploy Stagecoach effectively uses to see off competitors. One day NXWM might have the gumption to do something similar.

[Gareth]

Excellent news for me. I buy an nBus, even though its mainly only used for NXWM, i pay the extra for the convienience of getting a Claribels or a late evening VIP. The £2 saving is most welcome. One very happy customer here!

[vinh1000]

Nice to hear the fact can get it on swift as well

Though I use the ticket frequently on the 11 from Cov > L.Spa or 20 Cov > Bedworth

[Gareth]

If I was to get the nBus on the Swift card, would this still be valid on buses that are not currently accepting swift? Ie NXWM and Claribels?
