School Bus Travel from First in Wessex

You probably already know that Dorset is a great place to school, and here at First we have a whole host of School services that are being run for you in conjunction withy Dorset County Council.

As well as our standard school services, we also run a large network of other services. Simply logon to our Wessex Homepage for further information.

School Services:

First will be operating a number of new services in conjunction with Dorset County Council. These services are as follows:

• Services: A1 and A2 to Woodroffe School
• Services: B1, B2, B4 and B5 to Beaminster School
• Services: C1 and C2 to Colfox School
• Plus two minibus routes

Due to the significant amount of tree cutting needed on these routes which we have been advised could take up to 9 months. The current buses running are at full capacity, although at this moment in time we are unlikely to offer any additional spaces you can still apply at dorsetschools@firstgroup.com where we will then be able to inform you if any spaces become available.
