The services stop at many stages throughout each journey, for the full details of all stops please click on the options above. Plymouth College runs a bus service from the Senior School to the Prep School allowing Prep Pupils to use any of the bus routes illustrated.
In addition, First Great Western trains provide a good service to Plymouth from Devon stations including Ivybridge, Totnes and Newton Abbott and from stations in Cornwall including Saltash, St Germans, Menheniot, Liskeard, Bodmin, Par and St Austell. The school is approximately a 10 minute walk from the railway station.
Ensuring safe travel for all our pupils is a priority for us and we run buses to Heathrow airports at the beginning and at the end of term and at Half Term. We use a chaperone at Heathrow to ensure students safely embark and disembark planes.
