We still trying to choose between our good local comp and reconsideration to Marling.

The only transport options we seem to have to Marling are:

1.driving, this is 9 miles each way so 36 miles a day round trip.
2.driving to the public bus stop which is 2 miles away, then 8 miles by public bus (63 or 61)

I couldn't see any transport on the Marling website from our area and we don't know of anyone to car share with.

Any ideas?

This may sound a little harsh, but 2 miles is only a 30 minute walk. It may seem a lot now, but you're still 6 months away. Maybe just one way?

Although with a good local comp...

I live in Hucclecote and know a couple of children who travel to Marling and SHS. I think the parents drive them to the bus stop by the Royal William pub and collect back there at the end of the day....not ideal.
