Class pass

School trips made easy by bus

Travel from the classroom for less

We know that educational trips and vocational adventures are really important and memorable parts of growing up. They are often golden opportunities to reward, inspire and nurture young minds.

That's why we can offer a Class Pass, with up to 30 children & 6 adults travelling on any National Express West Midlands and Coventry bus all day long.

Class Pass

Why choose Class Pass?

  • Unlimited all day bus travel from just £2.17 per person*

  • No restrictions on when you travel (so if it rains, you can postpone until the sun shines!)

  • Just turn up to your local bus stop, get on and go!

*£78 divided by 36 people.

How to use a Class Pass ticket

Class Pass consists of three scratchcards, each allowing bus travel for 10 children aged 5-15 plus two adults.

On the day of travel, validate your Class Pass by scratching the correct day, month and year and show this to the driver when boarding the bus.
