College Bus Service
Our dedicated college bus service provides students with a safe, reliable and convenient way to travel to and from college.
A bus permit costs £60 per year or £25 per term. Students who are eligible for the college bursary may also qualify for a free bus pass.
To find the most suitable route, please see our College Bus Brochure at the bottom of this page.
When applying for a permit, you will need to enter your Applicant ID. If you do not have your Applicant ID, please contact the Admissions Department on 0161 631 5050.
Places are limited, and permits are issued on a first-come, first-served basis, so we recommend applying as early as possible. Please note that you will receive your ticket for use on the service ahead of the college starting in September.
If a service is cancelled due to severe weather or other disruptions, updates will be posted on the college’s social media channels, and you will receive a notification from the ticketing service.
Bus Booking
Note: Only one bus can be booked per transaction.
If you would like to book on multiple buses please book and pay for them separately.
Please check the correct bus is selected on the left of the payment screen.
