Commercial school buses

There are many dedicated school bus routes that are run on a commercial basis, with parents buying tickets directly from the bus companies.

Decisions on routes, fares and timetables for commercial school buses are decided by the bus companies independently of us.

The following operators run school bus services that are not open to the public or contracted to the council; see their websites for details:

• Ashwood Travel
• Carousel Buses
• Country Wide Coaches
• Imperial Coaches
• Masons
• Marshalls Coaches
• Motts Travel
• Redline Buses
• Red Eagle
• Red Rose Travel
• Stagecoach
• Z&S Transport

There may be other operators who are not listed above. If you are unsure, ask your child’s school or other parents for information on suitable buses, or plan another way of getting your child to and from school.

Many of our public buses do run at school times. You can also visit traveline.info for information on routes, timetables and more.
