Added to which bus travel is free with Zip Oyster card. The 65 bus stops nearby too.

Despite not living in London we have even got DD a zip oyster card for when she stays with the in laws (who live very close to Tiffin Girls) or for when we are traveling around London.

1. Bus takes quite long time in rush hours. 65 only starts from Ealing Broadway.
2. Many children comes from West of London - Harrow, Hayes, Southall, Greenford etc. Bus travel is not convenient for these children, so reluctantly they have to rely on the mini-coaches, some of which may not be fully road worthy.

In which case surely better not to apply in the first place?

If school allows, people will apply and hope to relocate. Some do, but many could not.
Any how, the Tiffin now has 14 km and TGS a post-code based catchments, so some of the far off areas are now excluded. Still some way to go.

You'll find many TGS pupils riding the 65, if you live near a 65 bus stop you're sorted. :D
