Shuttle Bus Annoucement

We are no longer running a free shuttle bus to and from Poulton. This is because we have worked over the summer with Blackpool Transport to negotiate additional stops on the No.5 bus to enable students to travel to and from Bispham Campus each day.

To access the new No.5 bus route, enrolled students will need to apply through PayMyStudent for a bus pass (subject to eligilbility) - otherwise students will need to pay the bus fare.

For the replacement bus route, click here.
Visit Blackpool Transport for more information.
