In the rest of England outside North Lincolnshire your pass entitles you to free travel on local buses between 9.30am and 11pm, Monday to Friday and all day on Saturday, Sunday and bank holidays.
Your pass does not entitle you to free travel on National Express coach services to Doncaster or beyond or on other long distance coaches. These are not “local bus services”.
