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:- BUS NO AREA PRIVATE OR GREATER MANCHESTER BUS 520 East Warrington Private 521 Winwick/Haydock Private 522 St.Helens/Rainford Private 523 Culcheth/Croft Private 618 Parbold/Burscough Private 733 Ormskirk Bus Stn Private 734 Town Green Private 735 Maghull/Kirkby Private 738 Skelmersdale Private 739 Horwich/Blackrod Private 800A Worsley Private 800B Tyldesley Private (also Greater Mcr Bus to Tyldesley) 802 Chorley via Standish Private 663/664/665/666 Ashton/Golborne/Lowton Greater Manchester 960/620 Standish/Shevington Greater Manchester 633/951 Highfield/Marus Bridge Greater Manchester 633/951 Platt Bridge/Poolstock Greater Manchester 657AM Bamfurlong/Bryn/Ashton Greater Manchester 663/664/665/666 LEIGH EXPRESS Leigh Greater Manchester/Private WIGAN EXPRESS Wigan town centre Greater Manchester/Private 960/620 Standish/Shevington Greater Manchester 961 Westhoughton/Daisy Hill/Pemberton Greater Manchester 962/948 Aspull/Beech Hill/Norley Hall Greater Manchester 663/664 Tyldesley/Atherton/Lowton Greater Manchester 962/948 Hindley/Marsh Green/Pemberton Greater Manchester 3
Travelling to Winstanley. a quick and easy guide! 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. We look forward to seeing you..! 4
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.

Greater Manchester Bus Tickets 2018 2019 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. Bus tickets are NOT transferable between two different bus operators. Option 1 Scholars Concessionary Permit By showing the driver your concessionary permit, you are able to travel at half the adult fare. Some bus operators implement their own tickets (as they are commercial services) so check on the list below to see how much you will have to pay. You take your passport photo and application form to the Travelshop (located at bus stations) and pay 5.00. They will then provide you with your concessionary permit ready to use on your first day into College and will last for one year. Students pay the driver each time they board or they show the driver any other valid permit. This permit is only valid for 5 days a week from home to College. Bus Operator Single Journey with Concessionary Permit Single Journey without concessionary permit Daily Return ticket with concessionary permit 14 Daily Return ticket without concessionary permit Weekly ticket with concessionary permit Finches 1.50 2.50 2.00 3.00 9.00 12.00 Olympia 1.35 2.70 2.30 4.60 7.30 n/a Tyrers 1.35 2.70 2.30 4.60 7.30 n/a Diamond Diamond Own Permits 2.50 n/a 3.00 n/a 10.50 Stagecoach 1.35 System One Travel Cards are also valid on these buses. Option 2 System One Travel Card Weekly ticket without concessionary permit This allows students to travel on any bus within the Greater Manchester boundary, at any time, 7 days a week. Therefore, it gives students more flexibility but it may not necessarily work out any cheaper, have a think about how much you use the buses, if you regularly use buses at weekends and evenings then this may be the better option for you. Be careful and make sure you ask for the right System One, always ask for the Young Person (16-21) as this will cost you 13.00 for 7 days travel. If you ask, or tell them you are a student then you will pay 14.00 for 7 days travel. Detailed bus routes and information can be found at: http://winstanley.ac.uk/transport e-mail Transport@Winstanley.ac.uk for transport enquiries
Section 2 Private Bus Services and Students outside the Greater Manchester Area 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. No lunchtime Private service 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 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 Finance@winstanley.ac.uk for further details 15
