BV - travelling from Wolverhampton

I note there are no Green Bus services to BV. Are there many, if any, children who travel from the Wolverhampton area - Wolverhampton or Coseley - to Sutton on the train? Initially would like DS to have a " travel buddy" until he gets more confident - and his mom less nervous- as currently he walks five minutes to school.

Thanks.

When I posted a similar concern I was told that if you contact the school they will arrange an older boy who is doing the same journey to chaperone the newbie for a while.

I asked our guide on the open evening how far the intake area covers and he had friends from Wolverhampton.

Many thanks muminbrum. Will wait for the dust to settle then ring the school.

have you considered using the metro to Westbromwich and then catching the very frequent number 5 bus to Suttoncoldfield? My Ds will be starting BV in September and will be using the number5 bus from Great Barr.

Not a route I had thought about but will investigate, thanks.
