UK bus fares can be difficult to find in advance, though this has improved in some areas with better online journey planners and real-time fare information. These sample fares provide real-world costs from actual journeys to help with travel planning and budgeting.
The introduction of the £3 bus fare cap across England has brought some consistency to shorter journeys, replacing the previous £2 cap. This cap has been extended until March 2027. However, regional variations persist: Greater Manchester maintains a £2 scheme (frozen throughout 2026), Liverpool City Region extended its £2 cap into 2026, whilst London operates independently with a £1.75 single fare (frozen until July 2026). These capped fares provide welcome relief for many travellers, though they do not apply universally and longer journeys may still exceed these limits.
All fares listed are for adult passengers and include the date they were last verified, allowing you to assess how current the information is. Whilst this collection cannot replace operator websites or journey planners, it offers practical examples to help you estimate costs and budget for bus travel across the UK. The fares are gathered from actual journeys and checked periodically, though updates may not occur frequently. Please use this information as a guide rather than a definitive source.

Lothian Buses
Lothian now operates a flat fare single fare across all of Edinburgh regardless of where you get on and how far you are going. Craftily, the price of the day ticket is more than double the price of two single fares, a reminder of when I lived in the city and found the same situation for the journeys that I was undertaking at the time.

These sample fares for UK train journeys can help you plan and budget for rail travel. Each fare includes the date it was last verified, allowing you to assess how current the information is.
UK train fares have become increasingly controversial due to rises that have outpaced inflation. However, in November 2025 the government announced that regulated fares in England would be frozen until March 2027 for the first time in 30 years. This freeze applies to around 45% of fares, including season tickets, peak returns for commuters and off-peak returns between major cities. Unregulated fares (such as advance tickets and first class) remain at the discretion of train operators.
Whilst this collection cannot replace official fare-finding tools, it offers real-world examples of what different journeys have cost, which may be useful when estimating travel expenses. The fares listed are gathered from actual journeys and checked periodically, though updates may not occur frequently. Please use this information as a guide rather than a definitive source, and always verify current prices through National Rail or your train operator before booking.

Bus Éireann announced on 27th March 2026 that three Expressway commercial routes would be withdrawn from 24th May 2026, citing sustained financial losses on services operating without State subsidy. The affected routes were the Waterford to Dublin and Dublin Airport service, the Ballina to Galway service and a segment of the Rosslare and Wexford to Waterford route.
In response, the National Transport Authority introduced a new subsidised public service, TFI Route 365, to maintain connectivity along the Waterford to Carlow corridor, operated by Bus Éireann on an interim basis under an emergency Direct Award Contract. The new service runs four daily return journeys Monday to Saturday and three on Sundays and Bank Holidays, serving communities including Mullinavat, Thomastown, Gowran, Paulstown, Leighlinbridge and Carlow, with additional stops at Thomastown, Muine Bheag and Dungarvan village not previously served. Connections are available in Carlow to onward bus and rail services to Dublin, and passengers can use TFI Leap Cards for reduced fares, with free travel passes remaining valid.

Launched in November 2025 following a major conservation and digitisation programme, the CIÉ Group Archives Catalogue is an online archival portal created by Córas Iompair Éireann that provides public access to a substantial collection of historical Irish transport records. More than 166,000 pages of material have already been digitised, covering corporate archives from 1945 onwards, records from 68 railway companies, and documentation relating to canal, tramway and road transport operations, with further material being added on an ongoing basis. Until now, Ireland has largely lacked a single, easily accessible online transport archive of this kind, meaning much of this material was previously difficult to discover without prior knowledge of the collections.
Historic minute books, annual reports, engineering documentation, maps, photographs and administrative papers are all represented, spanning organisations such as the Dublin and Kingstown Railway, the Great Southern and Western Railway, the Midland Great Western Railway and various tramway and canal undertakings. The catalogue follows a hierarchical structure familiar from professional archival systems, allowing users to browse collections, series and individual files, though only certain records are currently available to view or order directly online. A genealogical names database is also included, enabling searches for individuals connected with Irish transport companies.
