College Coaches

We currently offer five college coach routes to provide transport from some of the areas where public bus services are less convenient. In the summer we will contact new students by email with more information about the coach service for the academic year 2022-23. Applications for coach places will open in August 2022. 

Costs 

The annual cost of the college coach in 2021-22 is 9 payments of £80. The first payment should be made by bank transfer in the summer to secure your place. The remaining payments will be due monthly by Direct Debit starting at the beginning of October. We will use the same Direct Debit instruction that you have been asked to complete for your college deposit. Your place will be reserved for the whole academic year. The amount the college pays to the coach company is fixed so we ask students to commit to the place for the year and pay the full 9 instalments. 

A bursary may be available for students living in a household where earnings are less than £27,000 per year, if you are unsure please contact me for more information.

How to apply 

Current students can apply at any time, please contact transport@stbrn.ac.uk. We will open applications to new students in the summer, we will email you with more information, you could also check back here for updates. 

In the case of financial hardship, assistance may be available from the 16 - 19 Bursary.

These services operate at the beginning and end of the college day, arriving at St Brendan's by 08:50am and departing at 16:10.

Our aim is that these routes serve our students in the best way possible - if you have any suggestions for improvements please email: transport@stbrn.ac.uk

The College is open for students on 185 days in an academic year and we provide all coaches everyday, and so the charges are based on this. Places are offered on the understanding that students will use the service for the full year. However, if circumstances should change, i.e. moving house, please contact the Transport Officer in writing. We require one full calendar months notice to cancel the service and payment will be due for the notice period.

"No Pass means No travel"

In order to increase security we are adopting the practice used by many other Colleges, passes must be shown for all travel. Students unable to show a college photo id travel pass will not be allowed to board, as would happen on public transport. There will be no exceptions to the rule "NO PASS MEANS NO TRAVEL."

Allocation of Places on College Transport:

If demand for College Transport is higher than the places available, we will apply agreed admissions criteria to prioritise and the decisions of the College will be final in interpreting and applying these criteria. The right is reserved to refuse, or withdraw, a place for disciplinary or other reasons.
