There was a film about a man travelling from John o’groats to lands end son a bus. A gentle film famous actor but can’t remember his name.
Given the irregularity of so many buses it woukd take a long long time.

When we went to Wales last summer we couldn’t use our bus passes but were told that people from Wales could use theirs in England.

I went to Venice on a free train ticket in the 70’s from Scotland but I’ve been all over Scotland on the busses since I got my pass.

I only get free travel in Scotland, so furthest I have been is Inverness. Furthest Ive been in UK using only public transport has been London, Oxford, Belfast and Dublin.

Hi
I have a Welsh bus pass, and travelled all over wales with it.
Don’t think I can use it in the uk
Others will come on soon and be able to help more.
Have a lovely day

I was thinking of nothing in particular when a random thought came into my head. What is the furthest anyone has travelled using only public transport and bus pass.
