In addition to our mainstream network of services, we also provide some additional journeys on these routes  and many additional services that operate during term-time only. These are generally provided in order to supplement our existing routes in order to provide additional capacity in order to cope with the additional demand for transport created by school and college students travelling at peak times to and from their place of study.

In all cases, these routes are open and available for use by any member of the public and standard adult or concessionary fares apply. Unfortunately, as many of these additional journeys are provided by us under contract to local authorities, it is not always possible for our range of Rossendale Rover tickets to be used and we would advise anyone to check their ticket's validity before travelling. Usually, multi-operator tickets such as the System One in Greater Manchester are available (where applicable) and the best option for customers using these services regularly would often be to take advantage of the discounted travel schemes. Please check your ticket's availability before purchasing.

Unfortunately, at the moment, we are not always able to provide fully-accessible vehicles on some of these additional routes / journeys. Passenger demand for certain journeys also means that double deck buses are used on some routes and these are currently not accessible to all passengers. We have been investing heavily in our fleet over recent years and shall continue to do so and now only a very small percentage of the buses in our fleet do not provide step-free access.

Most schools in our main operating area of Bury, Rochdale and Rossendale areas are served by our buses as are some schools further afield in Blackburn, Burnley, Manchester, Middleton and Todmorden.
