Travel Information and Advice

The service we offer could make the difference in the cost and length of the journey to and from college-all part of a positive College experience.

There are a range of passes such as those provided by Bus Operators and more general concessionary and other passes provided by Greater Manchester Public Transport Executive (GMPTE)

There are also a variety of different operating companies for bus and train services, which can be explored. We may be able to cut time off the journey or find a more efficient alternative to your current route.

We are also keen to encourage the move towards a cleaner and greener environment by promoting alternatives modes of travel including walking and cycling where appropriate.

Working in partnership with College Welfare Services there may be opportunities for students to get financial support with travel costs through the Learner Support Fund, Access to Learning Fund, and possibly even the Local Authority.
