Educational Season Ticket Scheme
This scheme offers discounted rail tickets for students in full-time education. Ordinarily, a student becomes eligible for a full adult rate at the age of 16. However, this scheme is extended to the age of 18, so the student will still qualify for the child rate (55% off the adult rate) until they’re 18. Once the student turns 18, they would still be able to get 5% off the adult rate.
The season ticket entitles you to unlimited travel on the route specified seven days a week, including evenings and weekends term time only.
You have to apply to this scheme through the college. Please use the online form below or download an application and return it to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
If you would like a train pass ordering, we will need you to pay a £25 non-refundable deposit, with the outstanding balance to be paid before collection. Deposits can be paid at reception on any campus.
Collection of your ticket - Passes need to be collected within one week of the start of term. Uncollected train passes will be returned to Transport for Wales Rail Services thereafter and you will lose your £25 deposit.
There are two payment options (a list of the prices is available here):
You will be able to pay the outstanding amount either on RemsPay during the summer holidays or by contactless card upon collection of the train pass. You can also pay over the phone on 01743 235491 for the English Bridge & Welsh Bridge campuses or 01743 342342 for the London Road Campus.
The college will notify you at the end of the Autumn and Spring terms about the renewal of the termly train pass. Please make sure you provide us with a current email address.
If you lose your pass, you can order one duplicate per year (12 months) for a £10.00 administration fee. Any further losses will be charged at the full Adult rate. If the season ticket needs to be replaced because it is faulty (e.g. not working at the station barriers), then this will be replaced free of charge by the local ticket office. Please note: Students are required to travel with both their photo ID card and ticket at all times. There may be a penalty for ticket evasion if Transport for Wales rules are not adhered to.
If you decide to leave College mid-term or before the end of the academic year, it is your responsibility to return the pass to Student Services at Welsh Bridge Campus if any refund is required. The amount due will be refunded once it has been received from Transport for Wales Rail Services.
This scheme is subject to change in the 2024-25 academic year - please check with Student Services for the latest information.
