Does anyone travel from Cheltenham to Marling?

I don't know if this one has been asked before, but here goes.

We are interested in what Marling has to offer, but, alas, we're in Cheltenham.
We contacted Marling to find out if any buses went from Cheltenham to the school, but they didn't seem to know of any, although they said some pupils came from Cheltenham.

Does anyone know if there is a private operator running a service?

I looked into this, this time last year. At that point there were no private operators running school buses to Stroud, although the bloke that runs the school bus to Crypt (Rob Dix I think) said he was considering it because he'd had a few similar enquiries.

There is a normal bus which goes straight up the A46 from Cheltenham (Shurdington Rd) at the appropriate time. Although it's further in terms of miles than the GSs in Gloucester, the actual bus timing didn't seem too bad when I looked.
