Student Bus Travel for Cirencester College Students 

Travel from £1.67 a journey with an academic year ticket**

Get to and from College the easy way with Stagecoach. We run an extensive network of direct buses and offer a special student discount ticket in partnership with Cirencester College. 

You can buy daily, weekly and four-weekly tickets on the bus at normal prices, but our best value ticket is the Cirencester College smartcard   which covers the whole academic year for £650. This ticket is  heavily discounted on our usual prices and covers all of your travel with us.

Your ticket covers all your journeys with us to College  and is valid on our buses across Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Swindon, Wiltshire and into Bristol and Oxford. Travel in the evenings, weekends and mid-year College holidays at no extra cost - perfect for everything from work experience to a day out shopping! 

Getting to college by bus from September 

We run direct buses arriving in College between 0835 and 0850. Buses leave again between 1610 and 1630, either from the College grounds or from the College A429 layby. Students in and around Stroud can take advantage of our Service 52 if they start College later in the day or finish a little early. Students from Swindon have Services 51 and 57, whilst there's also a 51 bus every hour towards Cheltenham.

In accordance with Government guidance, most buses (51X and all routes starting with an '8' prefix) will run exclusively for use by Cirencester College students.  Social distancing measures will not apply on board College buses, as students are deemed to travel in established 'transport bubbles' each day.  We recommend students use the same buses and sit together in Year Groups whenever possible.  Face masks are mandatory on public transport and our drivers will remind students to wear a mask at all times, unless covered by an exemption.

Some buses remain open to the public and social distancing measures remain in force on such routes.  Generally, this means customers must use only one out of each pair of seats.  Service 51 and daytime trips on Service 77 run to these rules.
