A possible minibus service to Langley/ Slough Grammar
Dear All,
My husband and I have done some detailed investigating re arranging mini-coach travel to Langley and Slough Grammar from the Ealing/ West Ealing area (W5, W13), via Greenford, Uxbridge, Iver etc.
We have discussed a potentially really good solution with a well known reputable company as follows: a 16 seat air-conditioned Mercedes min-coach, with a fully qualified and CRB checked driver that can pick-up from several local points starting from Ealing and working their way to Slough. They are also okay with more pick-up points as long as they are en-route. This would be a daily service with the same driver for the whole year.
The cost would be from £7+ depending on the number of children picked up at various points. We want to try to make the journey as comfortable and short as possible and it can be done in 1/2 hour max via the A40.
If we get 16+ kids I think we could try negotiating the cost down a bit!! If there are siblings we could ask them to consider discounts. I know this may sound like a wee bit but think of the saving in reality, had you gone private! Or if you are taking there and back, cost in petrol plus wear and tear on your car.
The coach company (who are local to us) are happy to meet and present to all parents that are interested in this, and we are happy to co-ordinate on your behalf so we can fully check them out.
Happy to talk to parents who are going the Hershel and St Bernards if any!
If you are seriously interested please pm me or leave a message here.

Help wanted on transport
Hello, my DD has got a place in SG for next year, however we are worried about transport and she is too. Does anybody from around Rayners Lane/Pinner go to SG, can they please give us information on available coaches. Sweetviolet, would the company consider passing through Pinner? Thanks

If we can get enough people together to make this work then we can arrange a mutual pick up area, suitable to others in the same boat as yourself and us.
This will allow all the kids to get into school on time - given the time contraints usually available to drive the kids there. We can look into the route.

We have spoken to another minibus service who will charge £7 per day (possibley same as ferrying your own kids back and forth). They are trying to establish how many kids will be interested in the service and then plan a route accordingly - please pm me if you are interested. This minibus service already has an established service and come across very professional. Again we need upto 10 to 16 children to make this work. Once they have established interested they will work out a route and pick up / drop off points.
