Re: Commuting to STR and SHS
It'll be good to know the experience of the parents doing carpooling right now....

So they get a bit cold... we all used to do it and bikes/clothing is far better than it used to be.motheroftwo wrote:@stroudydad, a good option to consider, thniking may be difficult during winter and wet days.stroudydad wrote:What wrong with biking it to Tommies??
I can't impress enough how much easier it is to have children that can travel independently to school, without being held hostage to timetables.. schools simply don't function to a timetable - crazy I know but unless your DC does nothing and has no friends their then it won't simply be an 8:30-3:30 thing.

Yes I love how independent and resourceful mine have been able to be with having a good public bus system...though I have had to tolerate the odd lost pe bag etc

Is your DS using Bus 10?
Re: Commuting to STR and SHS
I have discovered that the bus route is number 10 to Denmark Rd and pick up the 94 towards Longlevens...then get out by the Greyhound pub...then shorter walk to STRSdr.watson wrote:Is your DS using Bus 10?
Both buses run every 10 mins at peak times so fairly reliable most of the time...

Re: Commuting to STR and SHS
I would have thought so. The quickest walk from Cheltenham Road to STR is the alleyway by the traffic-light junction with Old Cheltenham Road. But not all children want to get to school too early!stroudydad wrote:Is Nt the stop by the coop closer??DC17C wrote:I have discovered that the bus route is number 10 to Denmark Rd and pick up the 94 towards Longlevens...then get out by the Greyhound pub...then shorter walk to STRSdr.watson wrote:Is your DS using Bus 10?

Re: Commuting to STR and SHS
Being the sort of person I am I looked at the map... and actually the greyhound one now is the closest to the alley. Obviously on way home the coop one is.cazien wrote:
