Why not catch a bus at the start or end of your train journey? We work with bus operators across Scotland to link up with places that our trains don't reach – and it's an easy and environmentally friendly way to travel.
We offer combined tickets to selected destinations across Scotland, so that you don't have to buy separate tickets for the rail and bus parts of your journey.
There are two types of rail & bus ticket:
This type of ticket allows you unlimited travel in the area around your chosen PlusBus station. So, for example, if you buy a ticket from Glasgow to Aberdeen PlusBus, this will give you travel by rail to Aberdeen, plus unlimited bus travel throughout Aberdeen for the rest of that day. Click on the PlusBus link below to find out more.
These tickets connect you to some towns that are not on the rail network, without the hassle of buying separate rail and bus tickets. For example, if you buy a ticket from Glasgow to Peterhead this allows you to travel by train from Glasgow to Aberdeen, then onward by bus to Peterhead without buying separate tickets for each part of your journey. Click on the RailBus link to find out more.
In larger urban areas in central Scotland you'll find tickets you can use more extensively on both rail and local bus services – and even on some ferry routes too. These tickets can offer particularly good value if you are a regular traveller. To find out more, click on Zonecard and OneTicket below.
