No ticket: no ride. No exceptions!

Tickets may be inspected at any time whilst onboard the coach and anyone found using a counterfeit ticket will be prosecuted and all future travel withdrawn.

 

In order to travel on the 899 service either the correct season ticket must be scanned by the driver or the correct fare paid, there are no exceptions. Saver cards need to be shown to the driver to purchase daily fares otherwise the adult fare will apply.

 

No refund will apply to season tickets where the school closes at short notice for up to 5 continuous days.

 

Season tickets refunds can only be made if the unexpired ticket is returned to our office. Any refund due will be made on the basis for the expired portion of the ticket on the basis it has been used every day for the operational dates listed at the Hcc Savercard daily return fare, the balance remaining will then be returned to your original payment card less £25 administration charge.

Example of Refund for a Royston Passenger. (example dates and prices as of 25/26 school year)

Paid £480 for Autumn Term but on 15 October returns ticket for refund.

Days of operation from 3 September until 11 October inclusive = 32 days @ £8.50(daily return fare with HCC savercard)= £263.50

So refund £480-£263.50= £216.50 less £25 administration charge means we return £191.50 to the original payment card.
