We will be simplifying the types of Term and Academic Year Passes available from our website for the new academic year.
All of the individual school and service passes previously available will be withdrawn and replaced by the standard Zone B Term & Academic passes.
For those who previously had restricted service validity, this means you will now be able to benefit from travel across the full Zone B network with your term pass.
Diamond Network Zone B term passes are a great value solution for scholars and students in full time education. Passes are valid evenings and weekends and during school holidays too, so they are great for schooldays and for fundays!
Passes will be available to purchase from the Diamond Bus Website from 1st July.
Your Term pass will automatically be issued as an M-ticket which you can show to the driver on your smart phone. Now there is no more waiting for your bus pass to arrive in post and your pass will be safely stored on your mobile phone. Simply create an account on our website or download the Diamond App, upload your photo, buy your Term pass and it will be ready to activate at the start of term.
