School Transport from Leyland via Farington, Lostock Hall, Bamber Bridge and Walton-le-Dale

This service is provided by Penwortham Priory Academy via a commercial operator.

To keep costs as low as possible, we have taken the decision to merge two existing bus routes (Farington/Leyland and the Bamber Bridge/Walton Le Dale/Lostock Hall). Unfortunately to accommodate this we need to alter the bus route, remove the odd stop due to the route change and revise the times.

The annual cost for the Wal/BB/LH/Far/Ley bus service during 2022/23 is yet to be confirmed.  When we have a provisional number of pupils wanting to use the service, the operator will size the bus accordingly and confirm costs. Fees can be paid in six half-termly instalments via SCOPay.

Prices will be subject to review for September 2022 and may be affected by any increased cost from the service provider. Prices will be confirmed once final passenger numbers for this route are known.

Please note - no cash payments can be accepted on the bus. Payment must be made in advance via SCOPay. If paying in instalments, the first payment should be made by the end of September 2022.If your child is new to Priory your SCOPay login details will be issued during the first two weeks after starting.
