There are a few travel schemes worth knowing about:Â
Our Pass gives you free bus travel across Greater Manchester, plus retail and leisure discounts. There is a one-off fee of £10 to get your card.Â
The 16-17 Saver gets you up to 50%-off most train travel if you are aged 16 or 17. It costs £30 and is valid for one year or until your 18th birthday. We will reimburse the cost of the card with proof of purchase, and we will base any travel cost assessments on the assumption that you hold one.Â
The Scholar’s Permit lets students aged 16 to 19 travel to and from College at child fares on buses, trams, and trains in Greater Manchester. It is valid for one academic year and costs £5. You can hold both an Our Pass and a Scholar’s Permit if you need to.Â
“With my high school being quite far away from the nearest sixth form, I had to look further afield for my choice of college. After seeing the breathtaking campus at Xaverian and visualising myself learning here, I was convinced Xaverian was the best option for me. The considerable length of my journey to College was initially a concern but every worry was met with resounding support, such as the Travel Bursary. In some ways, the travel time has also allowed me to further my friendships with people I have met in College or revise for exams, so I would consider it valuable time as part of my day.”
