Birmingham Plus Bus - where is it valid?

[londonteacher]

I have purchased a PlusBus ticket for Birmingham on Tuesday but when looking at the Plusbus website for a map of the valid area it shows two different maps.

At the top of the page it says:

A Birmingham PlusBus ticket gives you unlimited bus & tram travel around the West Midlands zone, including Birmingham city, as shown by the travel map (below). This includes bus travel to/from Aston University.

and links to the West Midlands map attached.

But, later on on the page the Zone Map shown just shows Birmingham.

Which one is correct?

Valid anywhere in West Midlands PTE area

Thanks.

Might contact PlusBus because their website is confusing with two maps.

Including trams.

It's sort of implied on the Birmingham map by the extension of the dark shaded area off the edge of the page.

The interactive one also shows the whole area.
Perhaps the more detailed one is intended to show you the places you might reach via Birmingham (rather than via eg Coventry or Wolverhampton).

No point. It is deliberately like this, I think by agreement with PTEs who wanted the PlusBus to be seen more as a local extension around key railheads, rather than an all-county 'go-anywhere'.
