Dear S Knight

Thank you for your email, however I order for us to proceed with your request for information please provide the following clarification:

You are requesting information in respect of 'existing transport service for students', please provide clarification on how you are defining this phrase. Is it in respect of student transport which is used for the purpose of bringing students to our campuses or any shuttle buses which transport students on/between campuses?

Regards
Catherine
