YOUR JOURNEY TO ITCHEN
Getting to Itchen is straightforward, with many students travelling from across Southampton and the surrounding area using our dedicated college bus network and local transport links.
This guide outlines the Xelabus contract bus routes available for Itchen students and provides helpful information to support you in planning your journey to college.
On the following pages you’ll find a list of the areas served by our college buses, many of which include multiple stops along the route to make travelling to college as convenient as possible.
YOUR JOURNEY MADE SIMPLE
FLEXIBLE TRAVEL
The College provides a dedicated lunchtime bus service so that students can travel to and from college even if their timetable begins later in the day. This helps make travelling to Itchen flexible and convenient, allowing students to attend their lessons and return home easily.
PLAN YOUR JOURNEY
When travelling on college buses, students will need to show their college bus pass to the driver when boarding. This helps journeys run smoothly and ensures that the service operates efficiently for everyone.
TRACK YOUR BUS IN REAL TIME
Students should aim to arrive at their stop a few minutes before the scheduled time to ensure they do not miss their bus. We also encourage students to use the Itchen College bus tracker, which allows you to see the location of your bus in real time and receive updates about any delays.
QUICK AND EASY BOARDING
Bus passes are issued for individual students and should be kept safe and brought with you whenever you travel on a college route.
