Macclesfield College is closer than you think. Find out more about travelling to us below.
With subsidised transport for 16–19-year-olds and just twenty minutes’ walk from Macclesfield town centre getting to us is simple.
We provide a subsidised bus service for full-time 16–19-year-old students at a current cost of £400 per academic year (2025-26 cost). There are two different options available depending on where you live.
For the academic year 2025/26 the subsidised cost is £400 per year unless you qualify for the bursary where this cost can be covered. Payment can be made fully at enrolment or split into 2 payments September (£250) and February (£150) *. All students must reapply whether they are returning or new to the college to guarantee travel.
Applications links to apply for the college bus will be sent out after the student has fully enrolled. *Payment does not guarantee the right to travel – it is the student’s responsibility to apply for a pass. If the student does not have a valid pass they will not be permitted to travel.
Please note that where a contract service exists for your home area, this is the only service that the College will subsidise for you. No support is provided for students living within 3 miles of the College.
All transport information is correct for 25/26 at the time of producing; however, routes and pick-up points may be reassessed at any time for operational and efficiency requirements.
