COVID-19

To ensure all students who have paid for a subsidised college bus pass for 2020/21 are safe when using our transport service, we will be asking all passengers to follow our college transport rules, which are in line with the government’s guidance in response to the current COIVD-19 pandemic. Face coverings must be worn at all times on the bus and we will be taking extra hygiene precautions, by cleaning our buses more regularly and providing hand sanitiser. This will make travelling on our high-quality coaches a much safer experience for all passengers.

Travelling by train

If you would prefer to travel by train, we can also collect students from several train stations, including two pick-ups from Crewe Railway Station.

Financial support for train travel is available to eligible students from The Reaseheath Bursary.

If have paid for train travel to Crewe you will be entitled to a free bus pass from Crewe railway station to college.

Making your own way in

If you have your own car we have free parking spaces available and plenty of bike shelters for those students who cycle in to college.
