Not sure I quite get the bit about travelling from the West for ?1

You were the one who said it had dropped to under ?1 to drive from the West to Central London - hence the reason they had all started to drive again as it was cheaper than public transport

You said that the bus was full due to a school going on a trip, even if they had to pay, they would still use that form of transport, yet you may not get so many kids on the buses if they got into schools near the home instead of having to travel miles & miles

Can you please enlighten me as to whom had the bright idea that you could chose any school regardless of where you lived, I have a funny feeling that it was President Blair [ as he would now like to be called - see i slag off Labout also ], we all know that only one man entered the houses of parliment with good intentions and that was Guy Fawkes - he he he

Suppose i should count myself lucky as i can get the tube/bus or train to work
