Post 16 pupils who do not qualify for free transport may be able to travel on a fare-paying basis if
there are seats available under the Authority’s Vacant Seats Payment Scheme. Note that there may
NOT be an available seat in which case you will have to make other arrangements for your child’s
transport.
To apply for a seat under the scheme please complete this form online, all applications are processed
