Schools

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.

Please note that from September 2020, to help us manage loadings during the coronavirus pandemic, many of our services numbered 2, 3, 43 to 51 and in the 4xx, 5xx, 6xx, 7xx and 8xx series which serve schools will be temporarily designated for the use of students only. Adult passengers (unless school staff or other employees) will not be able to travel. In addition, where pass sales approach the available bus capacity, we will withdraw the facility to pay cash fares on the bus.

Therefore it is strongly recommended that you purchase a termly or annual pass now while space remains available.

You can track the location of your bus either using our Bus Tracker or by downloading the myTrip App to your smartphone or tablet.
