We operate services to the following Bristol schools:

Badminton School
Bristol Cathedral Choir School
Bristol Grammar School
Clifton College (AM only)
Clifton High School
QEH
Red Maids' High School

Coaches pick up along 2 routes and meet in a central hub point in Bristol, where children may have to change coach, and then travel on to their school in a connecting coach. The process works in reverse in the afternoon.

In the morning both coaches 'hub' by QEH, then route B1 continues on to Bristol Grammar School and Montpelier High School. B2 continues on to Clifton High School, Redmaids High School and Badminton School.

In the afternoon, coaches 'hub' at McAdam Way in the Cumberland basin where children can change on to their correct coach to be taken home.

If you are tracking the coach, you may have to select the appropriate route to follow its progress between the hub and school which may be different to your child's booked route.
