Getting to College

Over 1,000 students use our transport network to get to College.

We organise and coordinate a network of over 25 minibuses and coaches, transporting students to our Moulton campus from across Northamptonshire, Leicestershire, Cambridgeshire and Buckinghamshire.

Our service also runs to our Vocational Skills Academy in Higham Ferrers, from a large number of pick-up points.

Booking your seat on the bus

When you apply for your course just let us know if you want to use our bus service and we will make all the arrangements. Bus pick up points are reviewed each year, depending upon demand. Whilst we cannot guarantee that we will travel to your specific location we do our best to work out the routes so that they are as accessible to as many people as possible, with a wide range of pick-up points. Please ensure that you apply for a bus place before the 31 July in the year you want to travel. Travel applications received after 31 July will be dealt with on a first come, first served basis. Late travel applications may not receive a bus pass in time for the start of term.

How much does it cost?

The cost of bus passes is reviewed each year and varies depending upon mode of attendance at College. The figures below show the fees that will be charged for 2021/22.

Help with Travel Costs

All full-time students aged 16-18 years old who live more than three miles from their study campus, can sign up to receive subsidised travel from the local authority. For those students with a household income of less than £28,000 the College can also offer a travel bursary worth up to £600.

If you are allocated a Full Bursary – this will cover the full amount for Transport, which will cover Terms 1, 2 and 3. If you are successfully awarded a partial bursary, this will cover Terms 2 and 3. You will be liable for payment for Term 1.
