concessionary fares

The concessionary fare scheme is a great deal for those over sixty and some people with disabilities. It allows free travel all over England, including Wilts & Dorset.

Once you have got your pass you can jump on and off buses as much as you like – a quick pop to the shops or a day out to the coast, visit historic Salisbury or go through the New Forest. Most areas have time restrictions and these can vary from area to area.

Sadly, ENCT passes are not valid on the Stonehenge Tour and New Forest Tour. Also the scheme doesn't extend to visitors from Scotland, Wales and the Channel Islands.

Wiltshire residents

Bus passes issued by Wiltshire Council allow free travel at all times on bus services in Wiltshire. They can also be used to travel outside Wiltshire between 0930 and 2300 on weekdays and at any time at weekends.
