Council check: Northamptonshire County Council

Each week, we see how a local transport authority informs potential passengers about the bus services on its patch. This week, Northamptonshire County Council.



Where do the buses go?

Maps are provided of the whole county, including enlarged versions of the major towns. 5 out of 5.

Timetables

Timetable for all bus routes in the county can be found here. 5 out of 5.

Fares

Information is given about the Buzz Card, the multi-operator ticket for Northampton. But that's it. Nothing about single and return fares or operators' own day tickets. Plusbus, available in Northampton, Wellingborough, Corby and Kettering, is also ignored. 1 out of 5.

Summary

Top notch maps and timetables, but totally inadequate fares information. Northamptonshire County Council scores a total of 11 out of 15.
