Bus users across Burton and South Derbyshire can now save a few extra pennies as a new off-peak saver ticket is introduced.

Midland Classic is now offering a new Routemaster off-peak day saver tickets for users travelling via the bus in the Burton and Swadlincote area.

People travelling around the area will have unlimited travel from Monday to Friday and any time at weekends from after 9am. The day ticket costs £3 for adults and £2 for children.

Michael Cartwright, Midland Classic operations manager, said: “We’ve listened to feedback from our existing customers along with potential new bus users who need to make off-peak journeys across our network and I’m pleased to introduce Routemaster, the new bus ticket providing off-peak bus travel at great value for money prices. It’s time to get on board and save big time.”
