They sent an email out to parents yesterday asking if there would be any interest. No route details yet, but they said that they would reverse the route coming home so the children who are on the bus the longest in the morning will be the first off in the evening.
That's hard to imagine - wouldn't the distance from the school be more of a factor? Or the coach really goes round the houses stopping everywhere.
Presumably, in the afternoon, the coach would just zip back to the furthest pick up / drop off point by the lost direct route, then work its way back towards Bexley, dropping off as it picked up in the morning? Hopefully the most direct route not actually passing any of the pick up points nearest the school on the way, if the order of the dropping off is to be strictly adhered to - I think I would definitely have a moan of my DC's journey were to be extended artificially, given that if one lives in Orpington, sending one's DC to school n Bexley is a choice, not a necessity?
