Q. Where can I travel to by bus with my b_line2 card?

You can also travel to a variety of places outside of Derbyshire for half fare, such as:


  • Ashby-de-la Zouch
  • Ashton under Lyne
  • Beeston
  • Burton on Trent
  • Hucknall
  • Hyde 
  • Leek
  • Leicester
  • Loughborough
  • Macclesfield
  • Manchester 
  • Mansfield 
  • Meadowhall 
  • Nottingham 
  • Sheffield 
  • Stockport 
  • Uttoxeter 
  • Worksop   


Important! If you are travelling to any of these places outside the county you must use a direct bus route and start or finish your journey in Derbyshire otherwise your b_line2 card will not be valid for half fare. 


For example, if you're going to Meadowhall and you change buses in Sheffield city centre, you won't be able to use your b_line2 card to get half fare for the last bit of the journey from Sheffield to Meadowhall. But if you get a direct bus to Meadowhall from anywhere in Derbyshire you will be able to get half fare for the whole journey, both ways.


Q. Can I use my b_line card to get half fare on long distance travel?

A. Sorry, but you would have to pay full fare on any long distance express coaches, tours and special service buses.


But remember you can travel to various places surrounding Derbyshire – see Where can I travel to by bus with my b_line2 card?
