We hope that the following answers any questions you may have about using our transport service however please do not hesitate to get in touch if you need any further help. Just email transport@moulton.ac.uk or call our team on 01604 491131 and select option 4.
To apply for a place on our transport service you need to complete a Transport Form. You should have already received this when you received the email offering you a place on your course. If you have mislaid the form just give us a call and we will arrange to resend this to you.
The closing date for receipt of your Transport Form is 31 July in the year that you want to study.
It is still possible to apply for a place on our transport service after 31 July in the year that you wish to study but we are unable to guarantee you a seat from the start of term. If we are unable to process your application before the start of term you will need to make your own arrangements arrangements to travel into College. Please note that until we have received payment for your travel pass you are not permitted to travel on college transport.
Only students who hold an Educational Health Care Plan (EHCP) can apply for our door to door transport service. Applications should be made on the same transport application form as for our general transport service.
Moulton
All of our main transport service arrives at Gate 3, Holcot campus no later than 8:50am, Monday to Friday.
Buses depart from Gate 3, Holcot at 4.50pm Monday to Friday.
Students can then catch one of our shuttle buses to travel from Holcot to Moulton or Pitsford sites although most students usually walk.
Higham Ferrers
Route 15 is the bus route allocated for our Higham Ferrers campus. It arrives no later than 8.50am Monday to Friday and departs at 4.50pm Monday to Friday.
The driver will collect you from your home address. They are likely to have other students on board and may also be collecting other students after you.
The bus will arrive at the College no later than 8.50am and will drop you at the correct site for you, depending on which course you are studying. Once at college we have a shuttle service that can take you from site to site or you can choose to walk.
The departure time for our door to door service is 4.50pm Monday to Friday. All door to door minibuses leave from Gate 1, Main Site so you will need to make sure that they are there in plenty of time.
We review our bus timetables each year depending on demand. Whilst we cannot guarantee that we will travel to your specific location we do our best to work out the routes so that they are as accessible to as many people as possible, with a wide range of pick-up points.
Make sure that you submit your application to travel before the deadline on 31 July in the year that you wish to study or contact transport@moulton.ac.uk if you would like to discuss this further.
Alternatively why not take a look at our on-campus accommodation? We have over 300 en-suite bedrooms available for students and offer catering packages as well. Find out more on our accommodation information page.
There are a number of different payment options when paying for your bus pass. Full details can be found on your transport application form or by clicking here.
ALL payments should be made via https://epay.moulton.ac.uk/open. You will need your student reference number (this begins with an S, and you can find it in the top right hand corner of the application form) and your date of birth.
If you are a full-time student, aged 16-18 years old at the start of your course and you have a household income of less than £30,000 per year, you can apply for a travel bursary. This will either be a partial bursary award or a higher bursary award.
Please note bursary's will not cover the full cost of transport and you will need to pay the difference.
You will have received a bursary application form with your offer letter. Just complete this and return it to Student Services by email or by post.
We are happy to accommodate this so long as we have the space available on both routes. Please email transport@moulton.ac.uk to request a dual route. We need a minimum of 48 hours notice to process applications for a dual route so that we can ensure that all the relevant people are aware of the request.
Afraid that this is not a service we offer as we have to maximise the use of our transport service to accommodate as many students as possible. It might be worth you looking at using public transport if you only need a lift to College on an infrequent basis.
You must make your first payment towards transport by the 23rd August 2025. If this has not been done you will not be able to collect your bus pass and may delay your start here at the college.
As long as you have met the payment deadline when you attend the college for enrolment you will receive a special holographic sticker which will be placed on the rear of your new student ID card. If you are not able to produce your ID with the sticker you will not be allowed to board the bus. If you lose your ID pass you can purchase a replacement card from the Learning Resource Centre at Moulton.
New holographic stickers will be issued prior to the start of Term 2 and Term 3 which will entitle you to travel on college transport each term. Please note that stickers will only be issued if payment has been received or a full or partial bursary has been awarded. You will be contacted by text with updates and reminders so that you know when payments are due and when stickers are available for collection.
All of our transport agreements are for the whole year. When you sign the transport agreement you agree to pay the full costs unless you are eligible for a full or partial bursary.
All of our transport agreements are for the whole year. When you sign the transport agreement you agree to pay the full costs unless you are eligible for a full or partial bursary even if you no longer need to use the service because you have passed your driving test.
These will be reviewed once we have received all of the transport application forms however you can view the current bus schedules here.
If you would prefer to use public transport to reach the College, Moulton village sits on a public service bus route that extends from Northampton to Kettering.
