School Bus Service

School Bus

The school bus service to Rishworth and Heathfield Junior Schools is operated by smart transportation company Zeelo (from September 21).

Zeelo provides home to school bus services for schools across the country, with enhanced DBS checked drivers and services built on technology, including online booking platforms, 24/7 customer support, live vehicle tracking and status notifications for every service.

They will run routes similar to previous years, with some changes to allow for more efficient routes and to serve more students.

About the service

● There will be 4 bus services with multiple pick-up locations each day from Walsden, Rochdale, Mossley and Huddersfield

●  Ticket options include: Annual, Full Term & Half term passes where your child is automatically booked onto every journey for the relevant time period, 1 day single/return ticket or a 30 ride bundle where you can select 30 journeys.

How to book

●  Visit zeelo.co/rides/rishworth-school and select your nearest pick up location

●  Choose your child’s ticket type and confirm

●  Follow the steps to create your Zeelo account. Please create the account in your child’s name, but using your email address or whichever address you would like to receive future comms about the service.

●  If you have selected a 30 ride bundle you will then need to select the specific journeys you would like your child to take

●  You will receive your tickets via email to show the driver, or, if your child does not have a smartphone they can just say their name when boarding the bus
