kevvy 12 #2 Posted September 9, 2018 We've been using it for ages. As you say it's not advertised very well. There were notices on the buses but looks like these have been removed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Might take all the kids out to Fox House! Take a bus to a57 to sheffield/derbyshire border at moscar lodge, then walk to fox house. There are many times next bus at fox house are more than an hour away even on weekdays. Last time I was there I hitchhiked back to sheffield, lovely man in posh BMW gave me a ride in five minutes.

Just be aware it's NOT VALID on Supertram. ---------- Post added 12-09-2018 at 17:22 ---------- Never seen this adversitised before, could be very useful, thanks! Yeah, people only seem to be aware of the most expensive fares and this is why bus companies gain negative comments and press articles. I think this is fantastic value personally as it works out as £1 per day for 5 adults travelling together - much cheaper than taking the car or a taxi! The ticket for the record as been going for over a year now, just seems to receive little if no advertisement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
