WHAT S CHANGING FROM SEPTEMBER 2015? From September 2015, a new school bus network will be introduced at Lightcliffe Academy to replace the existing H buses. Having monitored the usage of the H school buses, we have re-designed the school bus network to provide additional capacity and to reflect whereabouts students are travelling from. We have introduced an additional bus in to the network, to provide extra capacity on the school buses through Shelf. We hope that this will address some of the overcrowding issues that have occurred on the school buses in previous years. The additional bus (service C59) will serve the Woodside (Fenwick Drive) estate in south Bradford, providing a new link to and from school for students living in that area. Here is an overview of the changes we have made: School services H1-H8 will be withdrawn and replaced with a brand new network of services numbered C51-C59. Some of the new services are direct replacements for the existing school services; others have been re-routed as part of the school bus network redesign. Please check the routes and timetables carefully. There will now be two school bus services running through Northowram village (C55, C56), replacing part of the old H8 and H9 services. Service C59 is a new, additional service for pupils living in the Shelf, Cooper Lane and Woodside (Fenwick Drive) areas. Service H9 (the Mybus service) will no longer serve Lightcliffe Academy. Students who used this route can be accommodated on the new C55, C56, C57, C58 or C59 services. Service H10 is renumbered C50 with no change to the route. Morning-only service H12 is extended to start back at Odsal Top and renumbered C60. This service will also offer a new morning link through Coley village. 2

C59 BOARDING PERMITS To avoid overcrowding, a boarding permits system is in place on services C51, C52, C53, C54, C55, C56, C57, C58 and C59. If you have successfully qualified for free home-to-school transport from your Local Education Authority, you will be issued with a Boarding Pass specific to one of these services. Please see www.generationm.co.uk for details on how to contact your Local Education Authority. If you do not qualify for free home-to-school transport, you will need to apply for a Priority Photocard to secure a place on one of these services. You can apply for a Priority Photocard by completing the Secondary School Bus Application which is included in this guide and can also be downloaded from our Schools Transport web site, www.generationm.co.uk. It is important that students intending to use one of these school bus services hold either a Priority Photocard or a Boarding Pass, as you will be unable to travel on the bus without one. 3
BUS FARES Students can pay a single fare on all school bus services to Lightcliffe Academy except service C50. The single fare varies by distance: Services C51, C52, C53, C54, C55, C58, C59 & C60: 1.10 or 1.20 single fare (depending on distance)* Service C56 & C57: 1.10 flat fare* * Please note that the fares shown are the child fares. To be eligible for child fares, you must have either a Young Person s Photocard or a Scholar s Photocard. Without a Photocard, you may be required to pay the adult fare which is twice the amount shown. For more details please visit www.wymetro.com. Weekly and monthly School Plus MCards are valid on the Lightcliffe Academy school bus services except service C50. School Plus MCards offer a saving over the single fares, so if your child travels to/from school by bus every day, it may be worth purchasing a School Plus MCard instead. Please see www.wymetro.com for full details. On service C50 students will need to purchase a Parent to Pay Boarding Pass to use the service. This service does not accept cash fares or School Plus MCards. Please see www.generationm.co.uk for details or contact Education Transport (0113 348 1122) for assistance. If you would like to apply for support with home-to-school travel arrangements, you will need to contact your relevant Local Education Authority. For contact details please visit www.generationm.co.uk and follow the link for Free School Travel. 4
OTHER BUS SERVICES As well as the school special services, public service buses on routes 255 and 571 pass very close to the school on Wakefield Road. Students travelling to/from Halifax and Stump Cross may wish to use route 255 (operated by Arriva) which follows the same route as the C52 school service to/from Halifax. Route 571 (operated by First) serves Halifax, Southowram and Brighouse in one direction, and Hipperholme, Coley, Shelf, Cooper Lane, Wibsey and Bradford in the other direction. The C60 school service is provided as a morning-only service, because route 571 towards Bradford provides the equivalent service on an afternoon. Route 548/549 (operated by First) between Halifax, Brighouse and Huddersfield calls at Hipperholme Crossroads, approximately one mile from school. For further details of these public bus services, please contact Metroline (0113 245 7676) for further details or visit www.wymetro.com. 5
