York College sent an email on Tuesday (October 8) to students and parents which said the 'Route 9 Selby' bus
- operated by York Pullman, saw ‘seatbelts on the top deck tied together extremely tightly’ and it had received ‘continued reports of people throwing things around the bus and at other students’.
An engineer was called out to deal with the seatbelts, the email said.
The bus service operates from Selby to the college and stops in rural areas of North Yorkshire including Thorpe Willoughby, Hambleton, Monk Fryston, Scathingwell and Towton.
A copy of the email attributed to the college’s Student Experience Officer (Transport) was posted onto a Facebook group for Selby residents where concerns were raised that students may not be able to go to the college if the only service accessing those areas was pulled.
'In this isolated incident, we included communication to our students’ parents to ensure that they were aware of the situation'
