I hope you all enjoyed a nice and relaxing half-term holiday. As many have commented over the last few days, things have been a bit dicey in terms of bus delays. Unfortunately, delayed buses due to road traffic accidents, construction, and inclement weather are beyond our control. Whenever possible, we will advise you of these delays and keep you informed. I also want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who paid their autumn term invoices in full and on time.

Please be aware of the following important points:

• Re-registration for part-time users for the Spring Term will open on Monday 6 November and close on Thursday 30 November.
  
• Invoices for the Spring term will be sent out by the 18th of December. We expect the fees to be in the region of ~£250 for Full Time users and ~£150 for Part Time users – but the exact amount will depend on several factors. Be sure to keep an eye out for the email, either in your inbox or junk mailbox.

EMAIL REQUESTS AND QUESTIONS FOR THE COMMITTEE

We receive many requests and questions concerning the bus service and many require an immediate response. Please note that it may take us up to one week to reply to individual emails, so do take this into consideration when emailing us.

REQUESTS FOR AD-HOC SEATS

Please be aware that all of the buses are full, therefore we are unable to accommodate ad-hoc requests.

GENERAL BEHAVIOUR

There have been a number of instances whereby children have refused to use their seatbelts, some have been caught running around the bus while it is moving, and there have been some issues concerning anti-social behaviour. Please know that this is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Should repeat offenders refuse to abide by the rules, we will have no choice but to take action. Eating and drinking on the bus is also not allowed.
