I just been looking at Where can I use System One / get me there?

and National Express is listed has anyone used there daysaver / weekly on the National Express Service as I know drivers would have none of it if you turned up.

For bus you would be able to get (practically) any normal bus service within this boundary (the blue bits not included for under-16 tickets):

For train tickets (such as county card) this boundary:

National Express you normally have to pre-book which is why you wouldn't be able to get on with a SystemOne for the number of stops (Manchester / Airport / Rochdale / Bolton etc) that you could use within the boundary.

Issue is they are registered for local Journeys also so are a bus service like the 540 and 60 (060) is a limited stop service. drivers can sell a ticket from Oldham to Rochdale

I used to work in NX Service Delivery i never seen any NX paperwork to say they take any system one ticket on the staff manual but it clear they have taking money from System one so they are Valid tickets but years ago they diid take concession passes as they got Government funding

NX is not a pre book service drivers can issue tickets on paper but they hate doing it.

RE: System One and National Express
Back to the original question - I’m pretty sure I’ve used an anybus on national express between manchester and the gun inn. But it was years ago and I would have arrived armed with some sort of leaflet / info printout to ensure I didn’t have to pay.

I doubt I returned on national express as that service was always late because the return started at ? Stansted?
