A comprehensive network of commercial and private coach/bus services and trains ensures that the school is accessible to pupils from a wide geographical area.

Please click here for a map highlighting the major transport routes into Bedford Girls' School, but please refer to the Bus and Train Service links to see specific rail routes.

If you wish your daughter to travel by coach or bus to the School, it is important that you contact the transport providers as soon as possible as places are limited and most buses run for all of The Harpur Trust schools. Please note, Bedford Girls' School does not run these bus services; they are run by private organisations.

Please contact the transport providers for latest routes, place availability and journey prices.
