You can secure your seat with a £50.00 deposit with the balance due by 2nd Jan 2026.

The demand for this route is very high and a second coach may go through Silsoe.  Parents who could be affected by this will be contated by the office.

Unfortunately due to the high demand we can no longer except AM only bookings.  This can be reviewed 2 days before the beginning of term

Coach Buddy

If you are new to the bus, we will try and team you up with another student who is going to the same school.  Additionally on the first few days of the new term, Our staff will pay closer attention to your child whilst they settle in.  It normally takes a couple of days for this to happen.
