Passholders can travel on local buses for free between 9.30am and 11pm Monday to Friday and all day on weekends and bank holidays.

If your journey starts in North Somerset, Bristol, South Gloucestershire, and Bath and North East Somerset then you can travel from 9am Monday to Friday.

We've created a new plastic smartcard with the holder's photo printed directly on to the card. If you have an old version of the card please contact our Diamond Travelcard team for a replacement.

Diamond Travelcard holders may also be eligible for a senior railcard, which offers discounted travel on most rail fares. Please note that Diamond Travelcards can not be used on trains.
