Changes to the West Midlands Bus on Demand service
From 22 December 2023, West Midlands Bus on Demand will no longer serve Wellesbourne Campus, Kenilworth, Leamington Spa or Warwick Parkway Station.
This is because funding was previously provided through the Future Mobility Zone, in partnership with Warwick University.
As the funding will now come fully from Transport for West Midlands, we have decided to focus on the West Midlands area to ensure the best value for money for taxpayers.
Passengers are advised to use the following alternative bus services:
- 11 - Coventry to Leamington via University, Kenilworth (operated by National Express Coventry)
- U1 - University of Warwick to Warwick Gates (operated by Unibus)
- U2 - University of Warwick to Leamington
- X18 - Coventry to Stratford via Warwick
Warwick University are working on an alternative service for passengers travelling to Wellesbourne Campus. We will publish any information here as soon as this has been confirmed.
This will depend. West Midlands Bus on Demand fares are based on distance, whereas tickets on the traditional bus network are for periods of time i.e., day, week, singles.
To find the best ticket option for you, use our Ticket Finder.
You can pay using cash or card, just as you would on West Midlands Bus on Demand.
The only difference is you pay before you travel, and not when your journey is complete.
To find the best ticket option for you, use our Ticket Finder.
Group tickets are not available on the traditional bus network.
The best way to buy bulk tickets for your alternative is a Multi-day Swift card. These are bundles of 5 or 10 discounted bus tickets.
You can get an older or disabled person’s pass to use on the bus network if you are eligible. This will allow you to travel for free during off-peak times.
If you are under 16, you are eligible for child rate tickets which are 50% off the adult price.
