What is the TfGM position on the travelling public on school services that fall on the 700 and 800 service number range? I have heard that some drivers on these services refusing to let non-school adults travel on them.

Its a publically advertised service, so they *should* accept "normal" passengers. Interestingly though, the bus stops in the school grounds. Today (real today, March 2nd) is the first day of the services as the school has this week moved to new premises.
We also need to be careful as the stops called "Uppermill, O/S Saddleworth School" are at the old premises!

So we assume we've gotten out of the new school grounds and we walk to the end of the school drive, and the "Marslands, on Huddersfield Rd" stop (approx. 0.25 mile in total) where we take the 0934 Nexus Move service 356 to Stalybridge, Church Inn at 1000 on Tuesday.
