New passes extending the entitlement to free off-peak bus travel
to cover the whole of England will be issued to all Diamond
Travelcard holders living in Bath and North East Somerset
Existing card holders should receive a new bus pass in the post
by the end of March.
If you have a Diamond Travelcard at the moment and there have
been no changes in your personal circumstances, you should receive
a new bus pass automatically from Bath & North East Somerset
Council. If you haven’t received it by early April, please call
Council Connect.
From 1 April, holders of the new passes will be able to travel
free on local buses anywhere in England between 9.30am and 11pm
Mondays to Fridays and all day Saturdays, Sundays and Bank
Holidays. However, in the local area (Bath & North East
Somerset, Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire) the
current earlier start time will continue and passes will be valid
at all times except before 9am Mondays to Fridays.
