Myerscough College Direct Services
We provide direct student bus services to the College from:
- Preston Bus Station
- Preston Railway Station
- Fleetwood, Blackpool and Poulton
- Blackburn (inc Darwen and Church from Sept 2025.)
- Colne, Nelson, Burnley and Accrington
- Clitheroe and the Ribble Valley
- St Annes, Warton, Freckleton and Kirkham
- Chorley service - 125C - please note this service number reverts to the 125C. Note this is a morning-only service. See more information below.
Please note: the 125C only runs in the morning and there is no return at the end of the day; students are expected to use the College service buses or public transport to return. This has been done to allow segregation between Myerscough College & Preston College students.
Stagecoach Services
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.
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.
Timetables for this service can be found at on Stagecoach via their Bus Journey Planner or through their app.
Bolton-Chorley Area: There is a dedicated 125C morning service. The bus leaves Chorley at 07:30 and will bring students directly to campus. Outbound from Myerscough, students can then use the 40/41 service 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.)
Croxteth Centre
We operate a bus service from Skelmersdale and Ormskirk, calling at Kirkby and Fazakerley and one from South Liverpool calling at Speke, Halewood and Huyton.
