For the 2025/26 academic year we will be introducing a new process for the sale of our surplus seat passes. There will no longer be a waiting list, and passes for each route will instead be put on quantity-limited sale on the morebus app on the following dates:
This page will be updated on each of these dates, detailing which routes have been put on sale, which routes are not yet on sale, and any routes which will not be going on sale due to being full, as well as guidance on any alternative options for routes which are full.
Unfortunately we are unable to predict in advance which routes, or how many seats for each route, will be put on sale on each date as this will depend on entitled student numbers and locations, which are not yet fully known. We will put as many routes as possible on sale on the first date, but routes where entitled student numbers are approaching the vehicle capacity or where significant route alterations are required will not be able to go on sale until the second date (or possibly later in a small number of cases).
Once on sale, passes for each route will remain on sale until the quantity limit has been reached. We will also open a waiting list for anyone who finds that their route is full, so that we can send a notification when addtional seats for their route (or any alternative options) become available. However as in previous years, we anticipate there being enough seats available in the initial sale for the very large majority of those wishing to purchase.
