Further to this announcement, Kevin Carr has written an open letter, further explaining why the £1 fare is not available on the school buses to St Bede's (and Park View - I imagine the situation is the same).

While it won't matter too much, I would say that only 11 double deck buses are provided with the 12th school bus (831) being a Venture SR - unless the allocations will change on Tuesday.
