If you are a new parent and you believe you are entitled to free transport, please use this page from DCC to apply for free travel.
Free Travel in Other Areas: If you are entitled to free travel and your route is not listed above DCC will be in touch to confirm arrangements with families shortly.
Concessionary Travel on SL03, SL04 and SL15: There may be a small number of concessionary fares available and DCC will confirm the application process on their website here.
Public Buses: Following our survey this week and because of the introduction of the £1 a journey bus fare there is very little take up from families for the school bus beyond the SL09 and SL11.
