Bus from Chelmsford to Westcliff Schools and SHSB (NOT SHSG)
Posted: Wed Mar 21, 2007 4:52 pm
Looking into travel options for our son to SHSB next year and have found that there is a privately arranged (not consortium) bus from Chelmsford to Westcliff and SHSB. It leaves later than the consortium buses (0740 from the Army & Navy/Tesco Homestore bus stop) as it has fewer pickups (none between the Army & Navy and Westcliff) and gets back sooner as it doesn't include SHSG so leaves earlier than the consortium buses - it also comes directly back to Chelmsford.
The cost is currently £1090 per year, payable in 10 equal monthly installments (August - May).
The bad news is however that the 52 seats are all taken. However the organisers are willing to put on a 2nd coach/minibus if there are enough takers. We rang the other night and are no. 9 on the waiting list - ideally they would like another 11 (making 20) to make it viable, however they could probably make it work with 16 so another 7 children.
I have the details of the people arranging it, however I don't know if the people concerned would like their names or phone number advertised on the WWW, so send me a personal message and I'll forward details to you if you're interested.
Even if you're not interested yourself, please feel free to pass this news on to any other parents you know as the people don't advertise this service, it's just by word of mouth. Stephensons are ceasing the 501 service at the end of this academic year so this may be a good alternative option (pick up from Broomfield Parade at 07:20).
Hope this helps someone.
