Route 2

o Terminating at Middlesborough

Both routes 1 and 2 leave Prior Pursglove College at 5.30pm on Tuesdays for approximately 34 weeks per annum.

These routes are considered more of a bespoke service, the bus will only stop at the points passengers advise they wish to exit. Students wishing to use this service sign up and a list will be emailed to the service provider the day before, so they are able to plan routes for that week.

These routes are free of charge to students and the Service Provider is to invoice the Trust directly for the full cost of this service.

Currently one single decker vehicle per route is required but passenger numbers are very low typically 10 students for each route so expected capacity required is 16-seater coach although this may change week by week.
