Like all bus and coach operators we are facing substantial increases in the price of fuel and other operating costs including wages. This year we have been mindful of the impact of the cost-of-living crisis is having on the families who use our services. We have been working closely with the Governors of Winchcombe School, as they understand that transport to school can result in a significant cost to families, and they are keen to support families throughout their time at the school. Following those discussions, we are pleased to announce that the school will be providing a financial grant of 20% towards the costs of all academic bus passes for Winchcombe School pupils using our M15 M16 & M19 services for the next academic year.

The costs are as follows:

£50.00 deposit at time of booking and then £978.00 to be paid in full by no later than 31st August 2025 if purchased after this date The Financial Grant is non-refundable and if students leave the school this amount will be deducted from their adjusted account

£50.00 at time of booking and then £117.55 per month = £1058.00 (first payment by the end of August final payment by the end of April 26) The financial Grant is non-refundable and if student leave school this amount will be deducted from their adjusted account.
