Find the stop that's further along the route in the list, then read across to the other stop's number along the top. Fares are in £ per person and the same in both directions.
Adult fares are for those aged 19 and over. Child fares are for those aged 5 to 18 inclusive.
A quick note on passes: the X6 is a special seasonal service, so we're not able to take concessionary bus passes or Wayfarer, b-line and Spectrum tickets on board. Everyone pays the same simple fare to the driver.
