What bus do I need?
Although travelling to Winstanley College is easy, we have a number of buses
that operate differently to each other. For example, we have ‘Private’ buses in
which the College goes out to tender for those services and ‘Greater Manchester’
buses provided by Transport for Greater Manchester.
The first thing to ask yourself is ‘Am I using a Private or Greater Manchester bus’?
Once you know this, you’ll be able to look up your specific timetable and route
much easier in this document.
To help you get started, we have summarised this as follows:-
4
Getting started
Whether you are using the Private College Bus Service (also known as outside the Greater
Manchester boundary) or any of the bus services provided by TfGM, (Transport for Greater
Manchester) this transport guide will provide you with all the information you need in order to get
to Winstanley safely and on time as well as giving you information on costs. We ask that students
and parents familiarise themselves with the contents of this document.
It’s safe
Our dedicated bus parking bays lie within the College grounds at the main entrance. This enables
the College to provide a convenient, easily accessible, central point for buses arriving and departing
in the security of the college grounds.
A few basic important points
You need to show your bus pass for each journey made (otherwise it’s going to be full fare!)
Work out the best method of transport for you in good time. Check out inbound and outbound journeys carefully as they may be by differing bus numbers and different bus operators.
Apply for any bus permits prior to the start of term.
You need to be at the bus stops at least 10 minutes before the bus is due, especially in the first few weeks of term. Don’t forget to hold your hand out to stop the bus.
Keep within the College Bus bays, do NOT move towards the buses if they are parked on the main road. The drivers are instructed not to open the doors so please wait till they approach the bus bays.
Behaviour
Everyone knows that you should behave on buses, but are you aware of what could happen if you
don’t? Bad behaviour can upset other passengers and put their safety at risk, in addition the bus
operator may even decide to withdraw his services altogether.
We ask that students are respectful and polite to the driver and other passengers and occupy seats
where possible (no standing is permitted on any of the private buses). Students are not permitted to
take up two seats. Any incident regarding bad behaviour can be reported via the Transport Issues
Icon on the intranet and will be investigated.
Travelling to Winstanley………. a quick and easy guide!
We look forward to seeing you..!
5
What Next?
All you need to do is go to either section 1 for the timetables for the Greater
Manchester Buses or Section 2 for timetables for the Private Buses.
It is important that you carefully read all the information and understand the
timetables. Greater Manchester buses can vary in bus number, size and colour
from the morning journey and the afternoon journey. For example, students
may board a Stagecoach 960 bus in the morning but going home it maybe
Finches 962.
*Please get your son or daughter to know which bus to and from
College they need.
*Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of this leaflet. Winstanley
College is not able to accept responsibility for inaccuracy.

What do I have to do to get one?
You are advised to bring two passport sized photographs on enrolment so
they can be stamped by the College along with the application form which is
provided during enrolment on the Transport stand. You will then need to take
your application form, photos and birth certificate to the Travel Shops located
at various bus stations throughout Greater Manchester with £5.00 to get your
permit.
PLEASE NOTE
You will be charged the full adult fare if you board the bus without a permit.
The above Scholar’s permit will only be issued to those students living within the Greater Manchester boundary and has to be renewed each year.

IMPORTANT
Greater Manchester Buses – passes and permits summary
It is important for students and parents to understand the difference in bus passes to get value for money. Bus passes vary from one bus operator to another so it is easier if students are familiar with their bus number and who the bus operator is. Weekly tickets are NOT transferable between two different bus operators.
System One Passes – although System One passes are still available at a cost of £13.50 for 7 days’ travel on any bus, any time within Greater Manchester, many bus operators have introduced their own version which is cheaper than the system one.
Diamond Buses – Students can purchase the following from the driver, they do not need to show any other permit.
a) Daily return ticket £3.60
b) Weekly ticket £10.50
Olympia Buses – Students can purchase the following from the driver providing they show their Scholars Concessionary Permit:
a) weekly ticket for £7.00
b) daily single ticket £1.30
c) daily return ticket £2.20
*Students without a Scholars Concessionary Permit will be charged the full adult fare.
Finch Buses – Students can purchase the following from the driver providing they show their Scholars Concessionary Permit:
a) weekly ticket £8.50 (£12.00 without a scholars permit)
b) daily single ticket £1.30
c) daily return ticket £2.20
*Students without a Scholars Concessionary Permit will be charged the full adult fare.
*Please note that all weekly tickets purchased from Finches will expire each Friday

15
Winstanley College operates a private contracted coach/bus service for those students
living outside the Greater Manchester boundaries (and a small area within Greater
Manchester) in the following areas:-
* Lancashire (Burscough, Newburgh, Parbold, Skelmersdale, Aughton, Ormskirk) * Cheshire (Warrington, Culcheth, Croft, Winwick, Haydock) * Merseyside (St Helens, Newton-le-Willows, Rainford, Prescot) * Merseyside (Maghull, Kirkby) * Bolton (Bolton, Horwich, Blackrod) * Worsley (Worsley, Astley, Boothstown, Tydlesley) * Chorley (Chorley, Shevington, Standish) The above services are also known as Private Bus Services.
Notes
Places are only secured when payment for the annual permit is made in full via our on line payment system, Parentpay or via 10 x monthly instalments.
The current cost of an annual permit is £360.00 which equates to £2.00 per day.
Permits are issued through College at no additional cost, however, a fee of £5.00 is charged for any replacement card. Please keep these permits in a safe place.
Routes are confirmed following enrolment in late August to accommodate the demand.
How do I express my interest in using one of the Private Buses? During Open and Interview Evenings, visit our Transport stand to collect a ‘Contract of Conditions of use’ form and details of private bus routes available. This does not commit you to anything at this stage so we advise you to complete this on the night and definitely before the deadline which is stated on the form. We appreciate that students may be interested in other Colleges and are undecided about coming to Winstanley. Nevertheless, we still strongly advise that you complete the contract as this is the beginning of the process, without this we are unable to secure adequate seating on the buses. You are not tied into any contract or financial commitment by completing the contract, terms and conditions will apply when payment is made and it is much easier to delete your son/daughter from the list than it is to add them after the deadline.
Financial Assistance If you are on a low income, e.g. less than £16,190.00 then you may be eligible for a Bursary. If you
meet the criteria, then the college will pay for your private transport permit. Please contact our
Bursary Officer [email protected] for further details
