Transport to Denmark Road from Swindon

Post by baba »

Hi All,
We haven't yet managed to find a best transport option for our daughter from Swindon to HSFG.

We were promised a place in a taxi which is transporting kids from our area, but now we have been told that the taxi is full.

Do you know any other options we could use?

Any help will be highly appreciated.

That is quite a commute! You could use the train. HSFG is an easy walk from the train station but still a good 10-15 mins so you need to factor that in to timing. I think there might be direct trains between Swindon and Gloucester though.

Actually as someone who does that quite often (Denmark to Sweden), I can assure you that it takes less time and is more straightforward than Swindon to Denmark Road School. I might also say it was more rewarding, but that would be overstepping my remit. :D

I've done Sweden to Denmark on a day trip boogie boat sort of thing - very rewarding given the beer shop at the Danish port compared with the price of beer in Sweden :D

Apologies for the OT
