Anyone know of bus service providers from Romford or Dagenham to Dartford or Wilmington Grammars?

These just serve places in northern Kent, though, don't they? There seems to be a bus from Lakeside / Chafford Hundred station to Bluewater via Greenhithe station which is a couple of stops from Dartford, but you would need to do Romford mainline / Dagenham tube - Upminster - Chafford Hundred (or Romford - Lakeside by bus?) to use it :shock:

Thank you "lucky mum" and "Toadmum" for your replies. I have been advised there are some children from Romford and Dagenham that go to the Dartford Grammars, I was hoping someone out there would know how they commute and if by private bus , the providers contact details.

It's one of those journeys which is perfectly simple if you have control over it (not my idea of fun in rush hour, though :lol: ), but quite mad by public transport, so one would assume that they would use a private contractor. Your best bet may just be to ring round local coach / minibus companies, to see who does it or ask the schools if they would ask the relevant parents to let on which company they use (admittedly not necessarily much use if you are thinking about this September).
