Travel to College Made Easier for 2026

More Freedom, More Flexibility, More Choice: New Transport Options for 2026–27

We are delighted to announce a major enhancement to student travel for the 2026–27 academic year.

Working in partnership with Carousel Buses, we are introducing an exciting range of new and expanded transport options designed to provide greater flexibility, improved connectivity and more travel opportunities for students across the region.

Unlike traditional college coach services, students will benefit from access to regular public bus services operating throughout the day, during evenings and at weekends. This gives students the freedom to travel more flexibly around their studies, making it easier to take part in enrichment activities, social events, part-time employment, work experience and independent travel.

The expanded network will also improve access to the college from a wider range of towns and villages, supporting greater choice for prospective students and families across the Thames Valley.

We are currently finalising route details, timetables and travel information, which will be published shortly.

To help students and parents plan ahead, information on travelling to Henley-on-Thames from local towns and villages can be found on our transport page here.
