Two dedicated apprentices working in a local nursery are proving that it’s never too late to upskill, thanks to the Early Years Level 5 Apprenticeship offered at Bury College.
Our Pass
Bury College students are entitled to an Our Pass card, giving young people the freedom to travel across Greater Manchester free of charge, at any time. This free bus travel card is available to all 16-18 year olds who live within Greater Manchester. This pass can be used to travel to and from Bury College at any time. Bury College campus is conveniently located within walking distance of the Metrolink and the bus station meaning the excellent transport links are only minutes away from the college.
Bury College Free Return Coaches
The college is providing a free return coach service for students from September 2024 to June 2025. This service helps to support learners who do not live in the Greater Manchester area and therefore do not qualify for the Our Pass card.
The free return coach service operates in the following areas:
- Bolton
- Littleborough
- Moston
- Rawtenstall
Entry onto the coach requires a valid Bury College ID badge which is provided during enrolment. The coaches drop off students outside the Millennium Centre campus and run throughout the academic year.
Travel Support
Students who are not eligible for the Our Pass can also apply for financial support to help them with their travel expenses. For more information please contact Bury College and ask for Student Services who can help you on 0161 280 8421. Please note – the routes are correct at the time of printing (August 2024), however they are subject to change throughout the year.

There may be a charge for the return of lost property.
All vehicles are NO SMOKING (this includes E-Cigarettes) and ALCOHOL may not be carried or consumed. The driver reserves the right to remove or bar any passengers that are unruly or who may pose a danger to other passengers, staff or the safe operation of the vehicle and its equipment.
