📖 About Route 60
The 60 is a limited Orton service: a small number of journeys run between Queensgate Bus Station and Orton Northgate, through the Orton townships.
It supplements the much more frequent 1 — with only a handful of departures a day, most travellers will find the 1 (Orton–Werrington) or the Central Connect 24/25 (via Orton Waterville) more useful. Check the exact journey times before travelling.
🎟️ 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.
