Welcome to the new Walton-le-Dale bus Ticketing System

– powered by ShuttleID -

We’re excited to introduce a faster, smarter and more convenient way to manage your child’s school bus travel. Our new web based system means there’s no app to download and no on bus purchases to worry about.  From September 2026, the 500 service retains the annual pass only as it was previously with the school directly. 

With ShuttleID you’ll be able to:

• Purchase tickets in minutes using a simple online checkout

• View live bus tracking so you can see exactly where the service is each morning and afternoon

• Receive instant boarding notifications when your child’s QR ticket is scanned by the driver

• Send the QR ticket to your child via SMS, or print it if preferred

• Use the same QR code all year, as long as payments remain up to date.

• Enjoy the convenience of monthly Direct Debit, with payments taken on the 1st of each month

Route Information

The 500 service will retain its current status with no changes to the route, timings or stops.

Tickets

There are two main ticket options:

1. Annual Pass for students finishing in June (e.g. Year 11)

2. Annual Pass for students finishing in July

There will be no increase in the ticket cost for September 2026, therefore tickets will be priced the same as Sept 2025.  Payments will be split into either 9 or 10 manageable monthly Direct Debit payments, depending on the ticket selected.  Full details will be shown clearly during the purchase process.

What you'll need before you start:

• Your name and email to setup a ShuttleID parent account

• An ID photo to associate with your account

• Childs name

• Bank details you want to make the payment from

• Please note the initial deposit payment will be taken 3-5 days from the date you purchase the ticket, with subsequent Direct Debits starting 1st October.
