Concessionary Passes

The concessionary fare scheme 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

The bus pass provides the pass holder with free off-peak travel on local bus services anywhere in England between the hours of 0930 and 2300 Monday to Friday and all day at weekends and bank holidays. 

For bus passes issued by Wiltshire Council, the weekday hours are extended to 0900 to 2359 if boarding within Wiltshire (excluding Swindon Council area).

From Monday 15 April 2024, some of our services allow you to travel before 0900 on weekdays. A full list of these services can be found here.
