45 mins is my top limit too stroudydad - door to door. In fact because my DD gets to her bus stop so early (DS leaves it to the last minute :lol: ) and often gets off two stops early to have a little walk, I think they could actually walk there in 45 mins. We had to do that the other day when the traffic ground to a halt but I didn't time it, shame.

Yup. 45 minutes is my limit. And that only for a child who was determined to go to a particular school.

Do take into account if long travel times preclude participating in after school activities thereby defeating the point of going to a particular school.
