There are two Stagecoach bus products which I am comparing, where there is a lot of overlap:

Gold 7 Day MegaRider £24.50 (Nottinghamshire)
MegaRider Connect £28.00 (Lincolnshire)


I can't find a map for the Gold 7 Day MegaRider - is there one please?

Ther terms and conditions of the Gold ticket include:


valid for unlimited travel in South and West Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Gainsborough on Stagecoach buses and Supertram

This appears to exclude Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire, compared with the Connect ticket which is valid on all East Midland buses (notwithstanding there is no 99 to Bridlington as this is a summer only service).

There's no mention of Sheffield Supertram in the conditions for the Connect ticket.

Thank you.

It looks to me also that the Gold 7 Day MegaRider can be used within its geographical boundaries for any Stagecoach service, but the MegaRider Connect is limited to Stagecoach East Midlands branded bus services.

Don't forget the Megarider Connect is valid on the 350 between Scunthorpe and Hull even if you are traveling on an East Yorkshire run 350 instead of a Stagecoach run one since it's a jointly operated service with a ticket acceptance agreement in place.
