Coach Service

We provide a reliable coach service across the region, so you can meet up with friends and enjoy the journey to and from college in a safe and environmentally sound way. You can even access free WiFi.

Once you’ve applied for a course, our systems will automatically allocate the route closest to your home address. The service operates at the beginning and end of each college day and at lunchtime. We run a shuttle service between our campuses, all scheduled to make sure you arrive on time.

The issuing of an Express Bus Card is subject to the availability of places and conditions relating to your attendance and conduct. Priority is given to to students who live more than three miles away from College.

Our bus routes are constantly under review so that we can offer the best possible service.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I make myself known to the driver as the coach approaches?

Yes. Please put your arm out or wave so the driver knows you wish to get on the coach. Many of the coach stops are also bus stops so not everyone at the stop will want to get on the college coach.

What do I do if I've left my belongings on the coach?

Please contact Prospect Coaches as soon as you realise you have left belongings on the coach. You can call them on 01384 895 436.

Can I use more than one coach route?

If you need to travel to or from more than one address, please speak to your Personal Coach. If approved, you will have two coach route numbers printed on your ID card allowing you to travel two different routes.

What do I do if the coach drives past my stop whilst I'm waiting?

If you have put your arm out to let the coach driver know you need to get on the coach and they still drive past you, this means the coach is full. The driver will inform the coach company and another coach will be despatched to pick you up so please be patient. This will happen less as the term goes on as the coach company will have a better idea as to how many coaches are needed each day for each route.
