Changes from 21st October 2024
Students are no longer be picked-up from Mudford Recreational Grounds (Mudford Rec) and your new pickup location will be from Ilchester Road. This can be accessed via our Ilchester Road side of Campus (exit by the Sports Hall).
For your new bus pickup, students will exit Yeovil College by the Ilchester Road exit, and turn left, facing down the hill to use the pedestrian crossing. You will cross Ilchester Road safely using the crossing and then go back up the hill (right) until you reach the bus stop (Opposite the College entrance).
Please note YC1a and YC1b will now be leaving at 4:55pm and YC2 and YC5 will be leaving at 5pm.
