Durham County Council have been working with local bus companies to provide additional services to allow more students to travel on busses dedicated to our students - if you usually travel on a bus which also includes other members of the public please see details below:
- 871 from Startforth: this will now only have students on board on buses before/after school - there is no change to normal times.
- 95/96 from Romaldkirk/Mickleton: Please use the extended route for the 871 service, do not use the 95/96.
- 85 from West Auckland: There will be a duplicate bus run by Hodgsons on this route called the S85 at the same time - Do not board normal bus, please board the student only S85 service.
- X75 (Arriva route): This will run as a student-only bus on the full route from/to Darlington at the normal times
Please note:
- Social distancing is not required on dedicated school transport, however, face coverings should be worn (unless exempt).
- Please sit with other students from the same year group on school transport.
- Enhanced cleaning will take place on all dedicated school transport before and after each journey.
- Please see detailed guidance by Durham County Council.
