Las tarifas cambian. Solo indicamos un importe cuando la página del operador lo mostraba en la fecha en que lo comprobamos, y entonces con esa fecha. En otro caso, enlazamos la página de tarifas.

  • Las tarifas de hora punta de pay as you go se aplican de lunes a viernes (salvo festivos) entre las 06:30 y las 09:30 y entre las 16:00 y las 19:00; fuera de esas horas se aplican las tarifas de hora valle. Los trayectos de Heathrow que empiezan, terminan o pasan por la Zone 1 se cobran a tarifa de hora punta en el Tube y la Elizabeth line. TfL lo indica en su página de tarifas de metro y tren.2
  • Los límites diarios y semanales y los precios de las Travelcards figuran en los documentos de tarifas de TfL (con la etiqueta «2026 prices» en el momento de la consulta). No copiamos aquí los importes porque cambian: la página de tarifas muestra las cifras vigentes.2

  • Bath pertenece a la misma región de First Bus que Bristol. El 25 oct 2026, la página de avisos de First indicaba que Manvers Street, en el centro de la ciudad, estaba cerrada hasta noviembre de 2026, lo que afecta a las líneas 2, 3, 4, 13, D1, U1 y U3. Consulte la página de avisos para conocer los desvíos vigentes.3

Liverpool

Merseytravel (tarjeta Walrus, ahora MetroCard)

  • Merseytravel's website and the MetroSmart site both refused automated access, so we have not read them. A Merseytravel news item shown in search results describes a MetroCard replacing the Walrus card; treat that as unconfirmed and check which card and tickets are current before you buy.10,11

Manchester

Bee Network

  • The Bee Network's tickets and passes page lists bus tickets, tram fare zones, contactless tap and go, the Bee Network app, a smart card, and cash and card payment. It also links a ticket finder tool.12
  • On 1 November 2026 the Bee Network’s contactless page said that if you keep tapping the same card or device on buses and trams you pay no more than the capped fares: £9.50 a day or £41 a week for unlimited bus and tram travel. On trams you tap in before boarding and tap out at your final stop; on buses you tap once when you board.13

Los Cotswolds

Rural buses, rail and a combined rail-and-bus ticket

  • Cotswolds Tourism says a combined rail-and-bus ticket covers trips to Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold and Chipping Norton, that the main coach route from London is National Express from Victoria Coach Station, and that the main bus stations in Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds are at Cheltenham, Gloucester and Stroud.19

  • It adds that Northern runs a direct train from Manchester to Windermere, and that mainline stations such as Oxenholme, Penrith and Carlisle connect with the rest of the UK.22

The Peak District

Regional buses and trains

  • Visit Peak District & Derbyshire says the area is easy to reach by rail and bus and recommends public transport for car-free days out, but the page we read names no tickets or fares. The National Park Authority’s travel page did not respond to our fetch tool, so check it and Derbyshire County Council’s Wayfarer ticket page directly.23,24,25

Highlands escocesas

  • Scottish Citylink's website refused automated access, so we have not read its ticket or pass pages. Check it for coach routes and any pass or concession that applies to you. See the ports page for CalMac and NorthLink ferries, and the airports page for Inverness Airport buses and trains.26
