Transport from Dorridge / Knowle to Alcester?

Post by VeryConfused »

Hi,

Does anyone know what transport options there are from Dorridge / Knowle to AGS? DS is over the previous AQS but transport very unclear.

Thanks

136 and 126 both do pick ups in Hockley Heath and Lapworth
You can check timetables here to see if any come closer to you: http://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/schoolbustimetables" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Thanks. Buses run by Warwickshire and unlikely to be places for Solihull children? Does anyone have any children on these buses and know if they are full?

There is these ones also - http://www.johnsonscoaches.co.uk/school-bus-services/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Although they seem to be only till SGGS and not Alcester, so may be you have already seen it and discounted them.

The Alcester bus operated by Johnsons for Warks CC is the 136 as mentioned above

DD's best friend in her form at AGS catches the bus from dorridge so it definitely is possible. I'm afraid I don't know what number she catches though. I could find out though if noone else can give you further info.

Yes pgm - that would be very useful. Not sure if there is a private bus or similar?

There were spaces on the 126 after the start of this term. I think there still are. If you are in Solihull get your application in for a bus pass on the first day you can (in June I think it'll be on the website). They prioritize applications for the waiting list based on date submitted.

Sorry for the delay in replying, and it's not even a very helpful reply! DD's friend lives in Dorridge and catches the 126 from Hockley Heath.
