📖 About Route 7

The 7 is the Hampton local: it runs from Serpentine Green through Hampton College to Great Haddon, serving the Hampton Vale side of the township.

Unlike every other Citi route it does not go to Queensgate or the city centre — change onto the 6 at Serpentine Green or Hampton College for the city. Buses run every 30 minutes Monday to Saturday; there is no Sunday service.

🎟️ Fares & Payment

Single fares on Peterborough buses are capped at £3 under the England national fare cap (confirmed to run until March 2027), so no single journey in the city costs more. Pay by contactless bank card or phone, in the Stagecoach app, or with cash. Stagecoach day and period tickets are sold on bus and in the app, and PlusBus rail add-on tickets are valid on Peterborough buses; the Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Multibus ticket covers multiple operators for cross-operator days.
