What is a core route?
Core routes are based on high school catchment areas. You can find out which establishments are on a core route from where you live here:
- School sixth forms and sixth form colleges and the high school catchment areas they are linked to by core routes (PDF, 12 KB)
- Further education colleges and the high school catchment areas they are linked to by core routes (PDF, 71 KB)
Visit Where I Live to find out what school catchment area you live in.
The individual college and sixth form pages give more detailed information on transport options and core route areas.
You can also download the core routes map (PDF, 3 MB) for further information to see if you would be entitled to travel assistance.
Transport will not be agreed to any alternative college, sixth form college, sixth form or other learning establishment, even if the qualification or course is not available at the designated core route establishment.
If a young person is eligible for travel assistance from the Council, we would normally issue a bus or train pass.
