Great value tickets across the Cotswolds and beyond!
To coincide with the launch of the new Pulhams app, we’ve changed the way we offer tickets for one day and longer periods across Pulhams local bus services. We continue to participate in the Government’s national bus fare cap, so single and return tickets will continue to be capped at £2 and £4 respectively (current exclusions will continue to apply).
Our bus services now fall into one of three fare zones – Cheltenham&GloucesterZone, CotswoldZone or CountryZone. You can find out where these zones cover by checking our new Network Maps, or see below for more information on each.
Oxford Bus Company and Thames Travel’s South Oxfordshire Zone was expanded from November 2023 to include Pulhams services operating in the West of Oxfordshire (15/19/64/68/X9). This ticket was rebranded to CountryZone and continues to cover the same geographic area and services as it did previously*, but this new name gives a better description of the area of validity now that this product includes travel to Chipping Norton, Witney and Carterton, as well as locations outside Oxfordshire such as Newbury, Reading and Swindon.
Check out the Network Maps for a detailed overview of the CountryZone.

We’re proud to now be operating more local services in and around Cheltenham and Gloucester and so to give our customers travelling in and between the two towns more flexible ticket options, we’ve introduced the new Cheltenham&GloucesterZone.
