annswabey 599 Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 City Hospital map and Bus info online are neither use nor ornament! Have to visit someone tomorrow, who is in Southwell Ward, which is Yellow entrance and near Hayward House. Which bus can I get from MIdland Station and City Centre, please, and, if City Centre, where do I catch it? Can I still pay cash on the buses? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 Service 17 from Trinity Square end Milton Street. Pay cash on the bus, exact fare @ £4 for a day ticket. Hope that helps. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
annswabey 599 Posted September 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 Great - thanks for replying so quickly. Can I pay cash on the bus, do you know? Haven't caught a bus in Nottm for years! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 Course you can, exact fare no change given. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
annswabey 599 Posted September 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 Thanks again. I'm used to the London Oyster card - strictly no cash! How much is it likely to be, roughly, then I can make sure I have the change 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 £4.all day ticket, any bus any route on NCT of course. Just ask the driver for an all day ticket. OAP passes are valid from any English town. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wish I was too young to have an old codgers bus pass. We’ll be getting a FREE telly licence this year as well, (its not me who’s that old, I’d like to point out!) Don’t like it at all 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But then I believe you’re in London? No need for a car down there is there? No need for a car in Nottingham really but I go much further afield now and again and I shall keep mine until my kids decide I’m a danger to other road users, hope that will be at least 20+ years away.

annswabey 599 Posted September 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 Live near London, not in London, and most people drive around here, but not me. I go further afield, too, but have to pay full fare Quote Link to post Share on other sites
