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.
