You can apply for a train or bus pass by submitting a completed application form through Herefordshire Council website and paying online.
Costs
For the forthcoming academic year 2024-2025, the costs will be as follows:
- An annual payment, in September, of £1000;
- or ten direct debit payments from September to June respectively of £100 per month.
Please note, you may find if you travel on certain routes to College, the cost could be lower than paying the above parental contribution.
You must allow up to 28 days for the provision of a travel pass and no refunds for travel expenses within that timescale will be made. Refunds are only permitted where the issue of the travel permit has exceeded the 28 days from the initial payment.
Passes are to be collected from the College following full payment each term.

Train Routes
Please note, if you wish to travel by train from within Herefordshire, you may find that it is more beneficial to purchase your own season ticket with the aid of a '16-17 saver' travel pass.
A photo ID card will be supplied when you order your train pass. NB The photo ID card must be kept throughout the duration of College life.
At all times the travel ticket and the photo ID card must always display matching pass numbers. It is your responsibility to check this upon receipt of a new pass.
Passes can be collected from the College.
