Travel To School For Less 

 

That's it – hurray the parents shout – the school holidays are nearly over and the kids will soon be back at school for another year, so it's time to sort out the bus they need and the pass to travel too!  

Thamesdown Transport Travel Passes 

The cheapest and easiest way to get to school or college is with one of Thamesdown Transport's travel passes, known as a Young Persons’ TravelPass which:

- Is for people under 20 years old

- Is a smart card which stores the pass, meaning your son/daughter can’t lose their bus fare (or spend it in the tuck shop) and can always get to/from school or college and home

- Saves you money

- Covers all the journeys to/from school or college during the week within the Swindon urban area

- Can also be used in the evenings, at the weekends or during the holidays for leisure journeys 

The pass costs just £35.00 per month - that’s around £1.15 per day!

It’s really easy to get your child’s travel pass, just visit the Travel Shop in Fleming Way with a passport-size photo, complete the Application Form and bring along proof of their age.
