As many will know, students (over 16) will have to bear the whole cost of travel if they can use public transport and £600 if they use local authority dedicated school-only services. AFAIK, this applies to all journeys - even if the cost is less than £600 (?)
Apparently, there are 91 students travelling from Berwick to Newcastle, costing NCC £400,000. That's over £4000 each . . .
The pdf attachment is corrupted so wont open on my phone - presumably the price quoted on the website is the cheapest option.
Those travelling some distance (like the students in Berwick), will need to pay more.
