As we roll into 2026, we’re introducing a few updated fares for the Daffodil Line that continue our commitment to keeping travel affordable, because we believe that accessible transport is essential – especially in rural communities like ours.
What these new fares cover includes: fuel, maintenance, insurance, driver costs, future planning, and all the behind-the-scenes work that keeps the wheels turning. They reflect the reality of running a sustainable service while ensuring travel remains accessible for regular passengers, families, students, and everyone who calls Daffodilshire home.
And here they are:

Whether it’s your regular commute, the weekly shop, a day out exploring our market towns, or that monthly trip you’ve been meaning to make – every passenger and every journey keeps us going.
If everyone who lives along the line takes the bus just once a month, we’ll never be at risk of losing this vital connection between our communities again. That’s all it takes to sustain the service that keeps Ross-on-Wye, Newent, Ledbury, Kilcot, Gorsley, Kempley, Upton Bishop, Castle Tump, Much Marcle and Dymock connected.
This year we’ve got new stops, improved services and big plans for Daffodilshire, but it all depends on you. Choose the bus. Even just once a month. Because together, we’re the power that keeps our community connected.
Check out our timetable and plan your next journey. See you on board!
