Transport Questions

Travelling to school

A large number of buses carry pupils to and from school each day. Those who live in the catchment area but more than 3 miles away usually receive a free bus pass from the LEA. Those who are not eligible for free transport, and that includes most children who live outside the catchment area, pay the appropriate transport company.

A:
Alex Cars 01285 653985
