Adult returns do offer unlimited travel on your route but not on the rest of their network and the examples they give are clear as mud. So with a Lyme Regis to Poole return at the bargain(!) price of £9 you seemingly can't stop off to visit Portland like you could with a day ticket. All very odd.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-24716785911510416672015-05-21T09:53:48.719+01:002015-05-21T09:53:48.719+01:00Thanks for the extra info.

Instead there will be a separate shuttle service (99) linking the shopping centre with the Park & Ride. See http://www.firstgroup.com/ukbus/york/travel_news/service_updates/?item=14761&conf=0 <br /><br />I feel pretty certain that this is due to the need to provide for charging the electric buses during the layover at the P&R site.<br /><br />The 9 timetable extract shown is the old timetable. <br /><br />I wouldn't like to be the driver on the 99 shuttle - six round trips every hour!TonyW1960noreply@blogger.com
