A specially converted bus to support students aged 16-19 with neurodivergent conditions gain confidence to travel safely and independently was unveiled at the Powerhouse FE college in Farsley, Leeds this week (Wednesday 9 July).
First Bus in Leeds has converted the single decker bus to create a ‘classroom’ area for students and redesigned the exterior to match the college’s identity.
First Bus has announced a 50% discount on tickets across its Aberdeen routes during next week’s historic Tall Ships Races. From July 19 to July 22, 2025, hop on board and cruise through the city with ease and affordability.
The discounted tickets will be unlimited during the event’s run, available only through the First Bus app on Two-Trip, Day, 3- and 5-Day tickets.
