School bus services

As parents get ready for the next school term, Nexus has the following advice;

• Families should plan how their children will reach schools and colleges comfortably – walking and cycling where journeys are shorter, and identifying which public transport they can use if they need to.
• When using cash, pupils using public transport should have the exact change to make their journey wherever possible.

Dedicated school services

To help get children to school from places where normal bus services don’t run, Nexus pays for special school bus services.

For further information, please contact Nexus Customer Services on 0191 20 20 747 for all public transport advice and information.

Normal bus services

To check whether you can travel to school on a normal bus service, use the Journey Planner or call Nexus Customer Relations on 0191 20 20 747 for all public transport advice and information.

Ticketing

If you are considering buying a season ticket or pass for a particular bus company, please check that both the morning and afternoon journeys are provided by the same company. Alternatively, a School Pass is valid on all services.
