I am just curious which bus operators still sell scratchcard tickets? Brighton & Hove are the only one left that i can think of. They still sell day ticket and weekly ticket versions of scratchcard tickets at their travel shop and at around 100 convinience shops across Brighton and some nearby Sussex towns. I remember in the 1990s and 2000s and 2010s they were very popular and dozens of operators did them. Arriva Kent and Arriva Surrey and Metrobus used to sell them too. It is a shame most have gone as it is useful to just buy a bunch of them and use them when necessary. Does anyone know of anywhere else in the UK that still sells scratchard tickets?

More trivia than anything. But first bus accepts scratchcard tickets for employees of first rail. Staff from GWR, SWR, lumo ect can buy a weekly ticket for £6 that comes as a scratchcard.
A lot of companies now allow you to bulk buy Day tickets for a discount on their app.
I tend to have a few Keighley town, Transdev West Yorkshire+ and West Yorkshire Metro Day tickets on my phone at any given time - all bought in 10s and valid for a year after purchase.
National Express West Midlands might still have them? I don’t think it was that long ago I saw someone use one. Drivers used to tell people you have to scratch the date off.
