There were scholars (some commercially operated), but it was just as easy using a normal public service.
Had no idea those passes you mention were even a thing within T&W back then.
I had the green pass too, but the red one was issued if you lived three or more miles away from the school I believe. Obviously, living in Winlaton and going to St Thomas More, I didn't qualify otherwise I would have been using it to go to Metrocentre or into town in the evening.
