Does anyone know anything about this ticket or has any experience of actually purchasing one and using it?
I’m staying for a week in Dumfries this summer and was thinking of spending some days discovering the area by bus. Looking at daily and weekly tickets available on the Stagecoach West Scotland website I saw the Dumfries and Galloway Discovery Day Ticket advertised at £8. At only 20p more than a Stagecoach Day Rider this also allows travel to Carlisle and according to the Stagecoach website is valid on most bus services throughout Dumfries and Galloway. I can’t find any other reference to this ticket anywhere except on the Stagecoach website. No mention anywhere on Houston’s Coaches website who run a large number of bus services in the area.
I was originally thinking of getting a Stagecoach Dumfries and Galloway 7 Day Megarider which is very reasonably priced at £23 but if the Discovery Ticket is valid on all operators it is worth thinking about instead. Many of the more remote locations, especially along the Solway Coast are only accessible on routes operated by other various smaller companies.
