Bus Routes & Timetables

Our transport service operates across a wide catchment area, with routes designed to ensure safe and efficient travel for all learners. Please note that the times listed below are subject to change before the start of the academic year.

Important:

- Use the drop-down menus below to view the timetable for each route
- Learners should arrive at their designated bus stop at least 5 minutes before the scheduled pick-up time
- For insurance purposes learners are not permitted to change from agreed transport routes, pick up points or drop off points without prior approval. For approval please contact transport@jcbacademy.com requesting your change

Check this page regularly for updates, as changes may occur due to factors such as roadworks or road closures

While drivers aim to keep to scheduled times, traffic and other unforeseen circumstances can cause delays. Learners should be prepared to wait, dress appropriately for the weather, and ensure they have a means of communication with home
