School Bus Update

805 Bus Route Splott/Tremorfa

In order to travel on the 805 school bus,  pupils MUST have a bus pass or pay for a return ticket.

If they do not the bus company will refuse travel and pupils will have to make their own way home.

The school is not responsible for school transport the council is. The council outsources this and the services are operated commercially by the bus company.

The school just hands out the bus passes at the beginning of the year.

If you need a pass or wish to enquire as to whether your child/children are eligible for free school transport go to the council website or call 029 2087 2808​.

If you have any concerns about the service contact the Contractor: New Adventure Travel on, 02920 442 040.
