Below is a brief explanation of the bus services and their differences, followed by the Bus Timetables for 2021-2022. 1. St John Rigby College (SJR) Private Buses ( Red Timetables )

These buses are provided by St John Rigby College. You will need to show your Valid SJR Student ID to use these services in addition to your valid bus pass.

Students wishing to use these services will be required to purchase a Bus Pass from St John Rigby College. This Pass can be purchased termly, the approximate cost per term is £120, less than the equivalent to £10 per week. The exact cost of the pass will be shared with students via communication prior to the start of the academic year.

Some students may be eligible for a Bursary to help with Travel costs, to apply visit http://sjr.ac.uk ‘Financial help for students’ as soon as possible.

Buses will stop at any bus stop on the route that the bus travels down providing the student puts out their hand to stop the bus. We advise students to get to the bus stop 10 minutes before the scheduled time and to continue to do this throughout the year. Occasionally the appearance of the bus may change at some point in the year, however the number of the bus is clearly visible either in the window or on a digital display on the front of the bus.

Please see the RED timetables and routes of these buses.

GUIDANCE FOR STUDENTS USING EITHER BUS SERVICE

Until further notice ALL bus services, will require you to wear a face covering at all times whilst you are on the bus.

Students are advised to arrive at the appropriate bus stop 10 minutes before the scheduled bus departure time. The bus may not always be the same colour but the bus number will be clearly visible either in the window or on a digital display on the front of the bus. The scheduled times on the timetables are a guide only as we cannot predict the flow of traffic each day.

At the end of the day, when many buses arrive at College, students need to be vigilant and actively look out for the correct bus to take them home.

Students MUST follow the Student Code of Conduct when using bus services.

All students should: ➢ be respectful to other bus users and the bus driver by following any instructions given by the driver whilst travelling to and from St John Rigby College ➢ refrain from smoking cigarettes or e-cigarettes whilst on the bus ➢ not play loud music that may distract the driver or be a nuisance to other bus users ➢ not throw anything from the bus nor leave any litter on the bus ➢ ensure bags or feet are not placed on seats to prevent other users from using a seat

Failure to adhere to these standards may result in a temporary or permanent withdrawal of your right to use any of our bus services.

HINTS & TIPS TO REMEMBER

❖ Get to know your bus number! If you struggle to remember, make a note of it on your phone. ❖ We advise students to get to the bus stop 10 minutes before the scheduled time and to continue to do this throughout the year. ❖ When waiting for a bus in the mornings don’t be distracted, your driver will need to know who to pick up, so please be attentive and indicate that you wish for them to stop. Occasionally the bus may change appearance, however the number of the bus is clearly visible either in the window or on a digital display on the front of the bus. ❖ Do not use up more than one seat each and use all seats available before choosing to stand, particularly on the double deck buses. ❖ At the end of the day make every effort to locate your bus. Staff will be available to help in the initial weeks of first college term. ❖ If you lose or forget your SJR pass, to get your bus home you will need a temporary pass from reception. If you lose your Ourpass you will need to re- order from www.ourpass.co.uk and pay fares until it arrives. ❖ Finally, the first few weeks may feel a little chaotic, but don’t worry it will settle. If you feel anxious about anything to do with the buses please come to reception and ask for Anna Tully, or for any transport queries please email
