Travelling to School by Bus
Bus Timetables and Information for 2025/26
*** Update June 2025 **
Please consider whether your child can walk or cycle to school – it can be a safe and healthy way for pupils to make shorter trips. There is a TfGM planner available here.
The fares on the buses are dependent upon the type of bus and its classification as either a school service or public bus. The current cost of journeys is shown below:
| SCHOOL SERVICE BUSES | PUBLIC BUSES | TOKEN BUSES RUN BY BYRCHALL HIGH SCHOOL |
|---|---|---|
| Tickets are purchased on the bus costing £1.00 for a single, £2.00 for a return, £7.60 for a weekly return (valid to and from school only). A 7 day anybus ticket costs £10 and can be purchased from any Travelshop or online at https://beenetwork.com | These are journeys which are operated without funding from TfGM – these are known as commercial journeys. On commercial journeys, the bus operator determines the fare, but they are generally comparable. A day return is £2.00. For Arriva buses the cost is £10.00 for a weekly. | These are the 555 and 888 buses. These are paid for by handing a token to the driver for each journey. Tokens are purchased from school at a cost of £1.00 each. |
