COLCHESTER SIXTH FORM COLLEGE/INSTITUTE NORMAN WAY SCHOOLS We carry a large number of students into the centre of Colchester. Most users purchase tickets directly from us and we are not aware of the school/college to which they belong. We ask that students from the same school/college sit together on public buses. In particular we ask for sixth-formers to sit upstairs alongside other students from their college and in their year group. In order to increase the amount of space available, and in order accommodate older members of the public safely on public service buses we will be providing some larger and additional buses. We expect the following journeys into and out of Colchester to be particularly busy and plan to provide extra seats as follows:- Route 88 0650 Halstead to Colchester Additional bus provided from Halstead for Colchester Sixth Form students – please use the extra bus rather than the double-decker from Halstead.

0750 Halstead to Colchester An additional bus will be provided from Earls Colne onwards for Colchester Sixth Form students – please use the extra bus rather than the double-decker
