Bus Pass Information
If you use Warrington Borough Transport Services to get to College you will be able to buy a Town Saver pass. The Town Savers cost £6.75 per week or £22.50 per month whilst the Network Saver costs £8.75 per week or £29 per month. A yearly pass is available at a cost of £245.

These passes entitle you to use any WBT service any day of the week including weekends (check diagram below to see if you will need to buy a Town or Network Saver).

To get your pass you will first need to be issued with a photo ID pass from College. These will be available from College at registration, but you will need to bring a passport sized photo with you (2nd Years note: you can use your ID pass from 2010/11). You will then be able to buy your weekly or monthly passes from College or the Interchange. If you live outside of the Borough of Warrington and are unable to use WBT you will need to apply for your own pass from Arriva, Halton, or your local train or bus operator.

Halton passes are also available from College. These cost £12.50 per week and will be available at registration. Arriva passes can be bought online and can cost from as little as £7 per week, depending on where you live. Both Halton and Arriva passes can also be used any day of the week including weekends.

During 2011/2012 we will support those young people who spend more than £13 per week on bus or train fares. We will contribute up to £100 towards travel costs incurred for bus or train fares that exceed £13 per week. This will be paid in two instalments, one at Christmas and one in June. Only those students with an attendance rate of 95% or above will receive the full amount. Details on how to apply for this support are available from Student Services.

Note: Bursary Fund - Students in receipt of a Bursary will be able to access additional support towards travel costs.
