Travelling to school

Please note that following the removal of social distancing restrictions, duplicate bus services in place during the last academic year are no longer in operation. From September, students using public transport will be required to use the commercial network - as they did before the pandemic.

You should also note TfGM’s dedicated Yellow School Bus services will continue to operate without a pass system for the upcoming academic year.

Students travelling by public transport should note the latest safety guidance:

• You must wear a face covering if you are using the Metrolink network, bus stations or interchanges or using Ring and Ride services - unless under 11 or exempt for another reason

• You are expected to wear a face covering when using buses and trains or using taxis and private hire vehicles

• Where possible open windows to maintain fresh air flow and ventilation

• Clean your hands frequently by washing with soap and water or using hand sanitiser

• Use contactless payment if you can

• Consider walking or cycling, particularly for short trips

• Please be kind and consider fellow passengers when travelling on public transport
