Transport to and from College for 2018

General Bus and Rail Information

1. Nearly all students now use a Snapper card. The College ID card serves as proof of age and identity to make sure that students are able to purchase the appropriate Snapper card during their time at the College and are charged the appropriate fare. The College provides students with the ability to top up the Snapper Card at school.

2. Please refer to the attached sheets for descriptions of various routes which the buses are scheduled to follow

3. Rail passes may be purchased from the Uniform Shop but must be ordered prior to the end of each term.

NB: Term 1 passes must be ordered by the end of Week 1 of Term 1. Parents/Boys may ring (3808536) the Uniform Shop prior to the start of term to order rail passes.

4. As from Wednesday 31st January, all school bus and shuttle services will resume.

5. Scots boys should assemble well back from the footpath. It is expected that all boys will behave in an orderly manner when using buses and shuttles. Students represent the College when using public transport.
