Yes. However, if you have a Flexi Season ticket on your Smartcard, we recommend you wait until after you've used all 8 days of travel on your active Flexi Season ticket before buying a new one.
If you need to buy another Flexi Season ticket before you've finished using your active ticket, please make sure the start date of your next Flexi Season ticket commences after the date you intend to use your last day of travel.
