What number is this bus? - Page 3

That's the one. As soon as I saw your name in the bar at the bottom I thought you'd get it.

My dad drove it on Tuesday and asked if I wanted to come for a ride on it. Not exactly practical when I've had assignments due left, right and centre this week - but with that period now over...

that would be my guess also

Clearly gaining a reputation around here...

So the ENCTS isn't valid between Heathrow and where? Uxbridge?

Ivo · 20th January 2012, 00:11

Snce the pass was introduced every source I've seen has indicated Uxbridge. However, my father has recently been telling me that it is now accepted right through. I shall have a quick gander and see if I can find out.

Hmm. I can't actually find anything to back up my theory. Everything suggests the pass is valid everywhere.

I wonder if I was getting mixed up with the intercounty nature of the route disallowing different passes in countywide scheme days...

Perhaps one of the best value routes around, this service starting in Newport, Gwent has a fare of £1.40 for it's 17 mile trip.

I was thinking Newport Transport route 30 to Cardiff - but that isn't as long as that

paulravuslante · 20th January 2012, 11:44

Correct company, but it isn't the 30 as you suspected.

martinsh · 20th January 2012, 12:07

I guessed the 30 because I thought it was their longest route ?

It was for many many years, but in recent times NT (or Newport Bus as they prefer to be called now) has been spreading it's wings.

Ivo · 20th January 2012, 12:36

Do they run the 14, and if yes how long and cheap is it? More to the point, is it the 14?

Note I said "14" and not "X14".

Nope, but you're very close in terms of the route taken. The service number in question used to apply to the service that run through to Gloucester.

I'll have a go at X25 Newport-Monmouth

Nope. It's the other new Newport Bus long distance service which isn't an express.....
