STUDENTS attending a specialist arts college are being left facing a four-hour round trip after a special bus service was withdrawn.

Warrington Borough Council has pulled funding for a bus that took Warrington students to West Cheshire College in Ellesmere Port.

The alternative is already putting some parents off with students being forced to catch a train to Liverpool and then a bus to the college and back - a journey that is expected to take two hours and would result in a bill of more than £200 for a year.
