Unaccompanied Minors

A minor is deemed by InterCity Group to be someone aged between 7 and 12 years of age inclusive. A minor is deemed to be unaccompanied if they are not accompanied by a person over the age of 18 years. No child less than 7 years old may travel alone.

InterCity Group will carry unaccompanied minors on InterCity and Newmans Coach Lines direct services only, provided that when purchasing the ticket all the required details were completed and the terms and conditions were agreed to.

When purchasing the ticket online, the details will be collected in the booking process and the terms must be accepted before proceeding to checkout. The information will be accessed by the contact centre and then logged with the driver.

If an unccompanied minor arrives at the bus and the driver does not have a record from the contact centre, the child will not be permitted to travel unless the guardian is present to complete a form at that time.
