How to purchase a Termlink pass for your Child

  • Go to our Termlink Tickets page and select the pass you require.
  • You will be prompted to log-in or register an account with us. You can now 'gift' tickets to your children from your own Diamond Bus account, or you can set up a separate account for each child and purchase the tickets directly in their account.
  • For a guide to 'gifting' tickets to your children click here.
  • When registering an account for the child, please use their name and upload a photo of them as this will appear on their pass. Each child will require a separate account for their own pass.
  • Once your purchase is completed your pass will automatically be issued as an M-Ticket for your child to show the driver on their mobile phone.
  • Your child's M-Ticket will just need to be activated at the beginning of term and will then be valid for travel for the period purchased. If you attempt to activate your ticket before the start of term, you will receive a message indicating your pass is not available yet, it will automatically become valid from the start date.
  • We understand that some children may not be able to travel to school with a smart phone, therefore we can issue a travel card bus pass if you request one. If you would prefer to have a photocard style bus pass instead of an M-Ticket, please email comments@diamonbuses.com with your order confirmation, postal address and your existing photocard ID number (if you have one). We will arrange to send a bus pass out to you. Please do not activate the M-ticket if you wish to request a travel card, we will transfer this for you. Please note, this is only available for term tickets.
