Buses from Orpington to Tunbridge Wells schools

Post by Supersunny »

Just wondering if there are any buses or private minibuses organised by parents that go from Orpington to Tunbridge Wells schools? Thanks.

I haven’t seen mention of any on here in the past. Trains would be far quicker. For TWGSB if you don’t get the Sevenoaks annexe then a train to High Brooms seems the norm, more on this thread here:

That's really helpful; thank you. I tried to find a discussion on this topic.

I have asked this on the Kent page in relation to trains and buses to the Sevenoaks and Tonbridge (not TW) Weald sites - maybe if you search Orpington in that section it will come up.
Fron what I have found out, for TWGSB main site the best option is apparently train as described above. For TWGSB Sevenoaks site I know that some boys are getting the same bus that the girls get to go from Orpington to the Sevenoaks Weald site, others are doing a lift share and quite a few get the same train that goes to Tonbridge but get off at Sevenoaks then bus it to the site.

Definitely trains for Tunbridge Wells schools: it's a generally reliable service, lots of boys take them, and the traffic going into TW of a morning is hideous.
