Bus Pass Update August 2021
We are now less than a month away from the start of the 2021/22 academic year and we are looking forward to welcoming your young person to one of our campuses in September!
We wanted to inform you that our college bus passes will go on sale via the online college shop from 09:00 on Monday 16th August 2021.
We offer the choice of two heavily subsidised bus travel passes - which learners choose depending on where they are travelling from and whether they wish to use the service outside of College hours. To find out more about our bus passes, including timetables please visit www.weston.ac.uk/bus.
First Bus Travel Pass
Our First Bus Pass offer is one of the most generous in the area and gives substantial discounts on travel across the West of England. The pass is valid on all local First Bus buses, 24 hours a day during term-times (including half-term holidays) and comes in either a five-day or seven-day option. It doesn’t have to be used solely for College-related travel – there are no restrictions on what kind of travel it can be used for!
- First mTicket 5-day term pass 21/22 £80.00
- First mTicket 7-day term pass 21/22 £120.00
- First mTicket apprentice 17-week pass £120.00
Instructions on how to activate the First Bus mTicket can be found here. These passes will become active from 31st August 2021.
Weston College Travel Pass
We have continued to provide direct coach services to the College via Bakers Dolphin. There are direct routes from Bridgwater, Nailsea, Clevedon, Portishead and Blagdon, meaning that learners can get to college even faster and more efficiently. These routes provide one inward and outward journey per day and services will commence from Monday 6th September 2021. Once purchased on the shop, learners will be able to pick up their travel card from a campus reception.
