Stephensons provide a safe and reliable service to many schools in Essex and Suffolk.
On many services, Term tickets save time and money and can now be bought online.
Termly and Annual Scholar Passes are now on sale on our website (here ) for the school year starting September.
We’ve introduced enhanced cleaning regimes and a number of other measures to ensure students can travel safely to school or college (click here to read our letter to parents ). Unless covered by a medical exemption, we will also require students to wear a face covering while travelling on our buses.
You can track the location of your bus either using our Bus Tracker or by downloading the myTrip App to your smartphone or tablet.
