Stagecoach Services
Stagecoach Bus Pass Update for 2025/26
Starting in the 2025/26 academic year, students are required to apply for a bus pass EACH term. Full payment must be submitted at the time of application.
Myerscough College offers Stagecoach bus passes to students travelling from Morecambe, Lancaster and Garstang on the 40/41 service. Any students travelling from Bolton, Leyland, Southport and other areas South of Preston, that operates a Stagecoach Service, can also purchase the Stagecoach Scholar Pass and then travel on the 40/41 public service from Preston to Bilsborrow or use the College Service bus from Preston Bus or Preston Train Station (see college bus timetable to ensure connection times). Students who obtain a Stagecoach bus pass can use these any time during term time so travel can fit around their timetables.
Timetables for this service can be found at on Stagecoach via their Bus Journey Planner or through their app.
Bolton-Chorley Area: Please note that the 125C only runs in the morning and there is no direct return from Myerscough at the end of the day. The bus leaves Chorley at 07:30 and will bring students directly to campus. Returning home from Myerscough, students can use the 40/41 service (from Bilsborrow to Preston Bus Station) and connect to any 125 service throughout the day to return home.
Why not download the Stagecoach App and plan your journey with live times. The app saves your favourite routes and locate the nearest bus stop. (Please note, this app is for public services only and not the Myerscough College direct buses.)
