Have been posting on the 'Results' thread re a bus service for the South of the County for the Southend/Westcliff schools.

Apparently there was one a few years ago - not sure where it started, but there was a pick-up point at the Orsett Cock.

Just wondering if there is enough demand to be able to persuade Stephensons or First Bus to run a service along the old A13?!?!?!

I don't live that way, but thought I could offer a bit of advice.

I know a parent who arranged a contract with a local taxi company to run a minibus from Chelmsford to Westcliff and Southend each day. This worked out quite competitively. Also, my daughter is at Chelmsford High and there is another parent who set up a contract with a taxi/minibus service to there from north london each day.

May be an option.

If the bus could come through Tarpots, Benfleet, then i would be interested!!

Is it true that the bus between chelmsford & SHSG has been withdrawn?

I WOULD BE VERY INTERESTED IF THERE WAS SOME SORT OF TAXI/BUS SERVICE HAS CHILD WOULD HAVE TO TRAVEL FROM ILFORD TO SHSB
i KNOW OF ANOTHER CHILD WHO LIVES NEAR BY WHO WILL BE TRAVELLING TO WESTCLIFF BOYS.
A SUITABLE ROUTE DOWN THE A13 OR A12 WOULD BE IDEAL.

I would be interested I live in Stanford Le Hope which is on in A13..
Girl already at Westcliff.

how does your child get to westcliff in the mean while?
Is westcliff near or far from shsb?

It seems that there are a few of us looking for taxi/bus service from the IIford area to SHSB and Westcliff schools, I have a few friends that do not mind teaming up with me so if you're interested let me know so that I can include your son/daughter in my numbers to the taxi/bus service. I hope to start running this from September.

I drive her everyday at the moment and SHSB is about 5 mins further,thats what the bus timetable says from Chelmsford and SHSG is another 15.

Oh dearest, dearest blessed please count us in our child successfully gain a place at shsb we are based in ilford
