Having looked at numerous of the latter earlier, they are all "pupils
with season tickets only".

Some are like that, but BSOG cannot be claimed, so they are more costly
to operate, having to pay fuel tax in full.

I can believe they don't claim, given the high cost of many such student
seasons - which despite a guaranteed monthly income from a full load can
easily be in the region of a fiver per kid per day.
