School Bus Services in the Oldham Area September 2020 to July 2021 Journeys in this leaflet operate on schooldays only, unless otherwise stated. Services are listed alphabetically under school names. - 1 - 18/09/2020 12:30:00 An introduction to School buses and concessionary fares for students in Greater Manchester Passengers can pay a fare to the driver for each journey shown on this timetable. However, students will need to show an IGO pass to travel at the concessionary (reduced) fare. If students do not have an IGO pass, they will have to pay a higher fare. Most of the journeys shown in this timetable are funded by Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM). The majority of TfGM funded services charge a standard fare and also offer daily return tickets. In some cases, the return ticket can also be used for travel on other journeys which serve similar areas – even if it is provided by a different operator. On most services, students can also buy a weekly scholar’s ticket, which costs £7.60. These are ONLY valid on schooldays on school buses and are available from the bus driver on all services where they are applicable. To help the driver, please try to have the correct fare when buying your ticket. Carnet ticket (10 single trips) £10 – available to buy on the bus or at a TfGM Travel shop. A summary of fares and ticketing information on all school services included in this timetable can be found at https://www.tfgm.com/tickets-and-passes/bus-school-bus-services There are also a small number of TfGM funded services where the operator sets the fares. You will need to check with the operator what fares are available. Yellow School Buses This timetable also shows the journeys operated by Yellow School Buses. Yellow School Bus journeys have special travel conditions and can only be used by students who hold a Yellow School Bus pass which is valid for that journey. Students who wish to use a Yellow School Bus should go to https://www.tfgm.com/tickets-and-passes/bus-yellow-school-buses for details on how to apply for a pass. Please Note - the requirement for students to obtain a pass to travel on this service has been removed for September 2020 The IGO Pass All students between the ages of 11 and 16 need an IGO pass if they wish to travel at the concessionary (reduced fare) rate on buses. The IGO pass is like an ID card and proves that the student is aged 16 or under. It must be carried on all journeys and shown to the driver before paying the fare. The IGO pass costs £10 and can only be bought by students who live, or go to school in Greater Manchester. More information on IGO and an application form to get an IGO pass is on the TfGM website at http://igo.tfgm.com (Please note: students who are entitled to a free Scholars Travel Pass for journeys between home and school and students aged between 16 and 19 who have a Scholars Concessionary Pass, do not need an IGO Pass for these journeys) - 2 - 18/09/2020 12:30:00 SCHOOL BUS OPERATORS IN THE OLDHAM AREA: RDT Rosso, Queensgate Bus Depot, Colne Road, Burnley Tel: 0345 60 40 110 BB10 1HH FM First Manchester, Wallshaw Street, Oldham Tel: 0161 627 2929 OL1 3TR GNW Go North West, Queens Road Depot, Boyle Street, Tel: 0330 1234 121 Cheetham, Manchester M8 8UT NM Nexus Move, 22 Old Street, Ashton under Lyne Tel: 0161 330 2090 OL6 6LB SM Stagecoach Manchester, Hyde Road, Ardwick, Tel: 0161 273 3377 Manchester M12 6JS STO Stotts Buses Ltd, 142-144 Lees Road, Tel: 0161 624 4200 Oldham OL4 1HT FOR LOCAL BUS & TRAIN INFORMATION TELEPHONE: 0871 200 22 33 (calls cost 12p per min from land lines, lines open 7am – 8pm Monday to Friday, 8am – 8pm Saturday, Sundays and Bank Holidays) or visit our website at www.tfgm.com - 3 - 18/09/2020 12:30:00 BLUE COAT SCHOOL, Oldham (0845 – 1500/1405 alternate Wed) Effective 28 September 2020 The following general bus services provide links to Blue Coat School: 84/184 Uppermill – Grasscroft – Lees – Oldham 350: Oldham – Uppermill – Tameside Hospital – Ashton For the latest timetable information go to www.tfgm.com/public-transport/bus MOTTRAM – STALYBRIDGE – ABBEYHILLS - BLUE COAT Service 125 HAUGHTON GREEN – HYDE – DUKINFIELD – ASHTON – ABBEYHILLS – BLUE COAT Service 126 GEE CROSS – GODLEY VILLAGE – DUKINFIELD – ASHTON – ABBEYHILLS – BLUE COAT Service 127 TfGM Contract Number: 0463 0329 0029 TfGM Contract Number: 0463 0329 0029 0463 0329 0029 Minimum Capacity: 86 70 86 Minimum Capacity: 86 70 86 86 70 86 Operator Code: STO RDT STO Operator Code: STO RDT STO STO RDT STO Service Number: 125 126 127 Service Number: 125 126 127 125 126 127 AW AW AW NAW NAW NAW GEE CROSS, Queen Adelaide ---- --- 0718 BLUE COAT SCHOOL 1430 1415 1430 1515 1510 1510 Godley, Railway Station --- --- 0732 Abbey Hills Road, Welcome Inn 1436 1421 1439 1521 1516 1519 Mottram, Stalybridge Rd/Hyde Rd 0720 --- --- St Alban’s Avenue/Lees Road 1441 1426 1444 1526 1521 1524 Mottram Road/Fern Bank 0732 --- --- Smallshaw, Broadoak Hotel ---- 1432 ---- ---- 1527 --- HAUGHTON GREEN, Manor --- 0722 --- Ashton, Queens Road/Mossley Road 1447 1438 1449 1532 1533 1529 Road Hyde, Bus Station --- 0735 --- Stalybridge, Stamford Street 1457 ---- ---- 1542 --- --- Dukinfield, Cheetham Hill Rd/ --- --- 0745 Stalybridge, Stamford Square ---- ---- 1452 --- --- 1532 Lodge Ln Dukinfield, Town Hall --- 0743 --- Dukinfield, Town Hall ---- 1444 ---- --- 1539 --- Stalybridge, Clarence St/Stamford --- --- 0753 Dukinfield, Cheetham Hill Rd/ Lodge ---- ---- 1459 --- --- 1539 Sq Ln Stalybridge, Stamford Street 0741 --- --- Hyde, Bus Station ---- 1451 ---- --- 1546 --- Ashton, Queens Road/Mossley 0757 0752 0758 HAUGHTON GREEN, Manor Road ---- 1501 ---- --- 1556 --- Road Smallshaw, Broadoak Hotel ---- 0758 --- Fern Bank, Mottram Old Road 1503 ---- ---- 1548 --- --- Abbey Hills Road, Welcome Inn 0808 0811 0808 Mottram, Roe Cross Rd/Stalybridge 1512 ---- ---- 1557 --- --- Rd Abbey Hills Road/Glodwick Road 0810 0813 0810 Godley, Railway Station ---- ---- 1510 --- --- 1550 BLUE COAT SCHOOL 0830 0824 0830 GEE CROSS, Queen Adelaide ---- ---- 1521 --- --- 1601 SERVICE 125: From MOTTRAM, Stalybridge Road/Hyde Road via Stalybridge Road, Roe Cross Road, Mottram Road, Portland Place, Stamford Street, Ridge Lane, Springs Lane, Ridge Hill Lane, Church Walk, St George’s Street, Darnton Road, Queens Road, Lees Road, Abbey Hills Road, Glodwick Road, Lees Road, Mumps, Union Street, Greaves Street, Yorkshire Street, St Mary’s Way, Egerton Street to BLUE COAT SCHOOL.
