They are usually open to the public so BSOG can be claimed (typically
a cash fare is paid by a member of the public using one). Whether
the public would want to go within 100 miles of them is quite another
question.

Do you mean the red London ones, or outside London.

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

Nope, Surrey do it both ways and of course accept ENCTS passes

That's the opposite of what we've been taking about - regular stage
buses which just happen to have schools on their route.

The list does not include coach and taxi services provided by Surrey
County Council, as they are not available to the general public.

And those are the ones we *are* talking about.
