Buckinghamshire bus pass question

Post by scary mum »

Last year when DS went into year 7 we had to fill in a form, send off a photo etc and recieved the bus pass during the summer holidays. The pass expired at the end of the summer term. Does anyone know if we just automatically get sent the new one? Presumably with the old photo - are they stuck with this photo for 7 years? :lol: :lol: :lol:

thanks

Yes, they are stuck with the photo until Y10 I think! DS received his new pass a couple of weeks ago with his Y7 photo on it (he's going into Y9!). We were sent a renewal letter and had to reapply for his pass - we have to pay, I don't know if this means it is a different system.

I've just looked on the BCC web site (should have thought of that earlier!) and found the following:
In subsequent years, travel passes are sent to the school and should be available on the first day of the new academic year. Pupils can use their 'old' pass until their new one arrives.
