The TfGM Wayfarer day out ticket at £15.20 for an adult is valid on the 1 between Bolton and Darwen Town Centre. It's valid throughout Greater Manchester and into parts of the neighbouring counties, including most of the Peak District, on buses, trains and trams. It can't be bought on the bus, so make sure you buy one before you board.
