Home to School/College transport is a speciality of ours as an approved contractor to Shropshire Council, Wrexham County Borough Council, Cheshire East Council & Cheshire West & Chester Councils. For them and independent schools as a group we carry out over 70 daily contracts, moving nearly 4,000 school children safely back and forth on a daily basis.
We also run “closed door routes” (i.e. only available to students to the following the named schools and colleges not the general public) for which passes can be purchased online below. Payments can be made online by debit/credit card or direct debit payment plan.
For those already travelling on our routes you will receive a renewal email to renew your ticket/s for the new academic year.
