Windsor Express - Fares
fares and ticketing
As part of the governments help for households scheme, all single fares on London Line 702 and Flightline 703 are currently just £2 regardless of journey length.
Boost is available on London Line and Flightline for younger people - it's our name for a child fare and allows you to get discounted travel up to the age of 18. If you are buying on any of our apps, you must verify your age or educational status before you can use a Boost ticket. If you're lucky enough to look over 18 when buying onboard you may also be asked for ID from the driver.
more ways to pay
We like to make life easy here at Reading Buses, so our handy Windsor Express app has mobile ticket (mTicket) availability meaning you can buy tickets on your phone! The Windsor Express app provides all the tickets you need for both London Line 702 and Flightline 703 services.
We also take cash and contactless payments on board and smartcards are also available to purchase from our online shop.

daysaver5
We know that more people are now choosing to work more flexibly and so we have tickets to suit! You can buy our daysaver5 which gives you five separate days of travel on London Line 702 & Flightline 703, to help save you money even if you aren't travelling as often with us. These cost just £60 on the app. You activate each day separately so you still get a saving even though you aren't travelling every day.
simplySlough & Windsor zone
We have, in conjunction with Thames Valley Buses, a simplySlough & Windsor fare zone which covers the Slough and Windsor area.
Our fares are changing on Monday 2 September and the page below has been updated to show the new prices.
You can buy tickets in this zone and use them on any Thames Valley or Windsor Express services bus. If you travel outside of this zone, you will need to buy different tickets. See the table of period tickets below. You can buy these on the Green Line app.
