Two east Belfast schools, ashfield_girls and abhs_belfast, are facing 'significant issues' with their school transport, resulting in pupils arriving late 🚌
Bus services at both Ashfield Girls' High and Ashfield Boys' High schools have been affectedIn a letter to parents, the principal of Ashfield Girls' High School, Louise Hanvey, said it and the neighbouring boys' school were both affected.BBC News NI understands a significant number of pupils have been late for school as a result of the problems.
Ashfield Girls' High and Ashfield Boys' High are two large non-selective post-primaries in east Belfast. But Ms Hanvey wrote that the Education Authority then said pupils would have to rely on public transport to get to school. Ms Hanvey said she estimated that it could take an hour and a half for all pupils to get Translink buses to go home at the end of the school day alone.
"As I have no level of authority to negotiate with the Education Authority or Translink currently, I would advise you to contact Translink directly as your daughter is a fare-paying member of the public who is entitled to use the public transport network," Ms Hanvey said. "He attempted to get on a bus today but it was full. Another two or three buses drove past him but they were full.A Translink spokesperson said the company carried about 60,000 pupils to school every day."We are aware of recent service capacity issues for Ashfield Girls' High School and have been monitoring the situation.
