Trying to buy the ticket to Bristol TM from Taunton that allows a jounrney into central Bristol on the bus ( ? bus no 8 or 9).
I've used it many times but not for a few years now. Its not a plusbus ticket. But I can't find it now, it seems not to be available on BR Fares either. Has it been withdrawn? If so is the only option a plusbus ticket?

There's the freedom travelpass but thats only valid as far South as Weston Super Mare, so not Taunton. Otherwise it is just PlusBus as far as I am aware.

I would imagine that with the flat rate ticket on Bristol Omnibus Co routes max 6 miles at £2.60 - £5.20 to and from Broadmead say - and the Plusbus only 20p more for a much wider validity GWR have decided that it was not needed. For the area covered this Plusbus is a bargain.

Can you clarify the operator you refer? I don’t believe Bristol Omnibus Company to have existed for some time?
