There is no limit on travel times - you can use the permit at any time on any day. The permit can be used on all public bus services in County Durham and Darlington, on local express services and public services running only on schooldays or factory days.
You can use the permit on bus services to and from the following neighbouring counties; Darlington, Hartlepool, Teesside, Cumbria, North Yorkshire, Northumberland and Tyne & Wear, provided that you get on or get off at a stop in County Durham or Darlington. The permit may not be used for travel beyond the following points; Middlesbrough Bus Station, Penrith, Kirkby Stephen, Catterick Garrison, Northallerton Town Centre or on coach trips, excursions and National Express coach services.
