If you are asked to transfer:
- Please be understanding that this is to improve reliability of your services. The Driver will have received this instruction from our Traffic Control Office.
- Please follow the Drivers guidance on transferring
- Tickets purchased on the original part of your journey will remain valid for your transfer until your destination.
