Day Trip Logs
This page will have links to files for Day Trips I have done by bus from Swindon, more will be added as I complete them. The logs are done as downloadable word files as it is easier to put the information onto word and link it to the website, than write it on the website.
PLEASE NOTE: These day trips will not all be within Swindon here is a helpful guide to tell which trips are within Swindon, those that are not within Swindon, but that are within the nearby areas reachable by bus and those that are to further afield.
Swindon Day Rider/Day Rider + - Journeys within Swindon Only
Wiltshire Day Rover/Stagecoach West Explorer - Journeys within easy reach of Swindon by bus
A Day Out To - Trips away from Swindon to further afield - will normally be London!
Bus Fares & Day Trip Ticket Options

A round trip on the new Free Shopper Bus Service only using MPD 101. I also took the proper bus for this service (Enviro 200 Dart 106) on Wednesday 5th August 2015 and saw that it is now getting use, but not with shoppers as intended, but with people using it as a free bus home to Rodbourne and that it is seriously affected by the roadworks around Bruce Street Bridges.
