Parents' organised Transport from Reading, Berks to Royal Grammar School, Guildford

[samade]

Hello everyone. I would like to know if there is any parent(s) whose son attends Royal Grammar School (RGS), Guildford and live in the Reading, Berkshire area. Is there a collective transportation organised by parents to take the boys from Reading to Guildford and back everyday? I am asking so I know if I would save myself some 90 minutes drive (to/fro) RGS. From Reading, it is 45 minutes drive to RGS. I believe it will be helpful to avoid that aspect of "school-run". Thank you.

@IvySquirrel. Cool

@GU24Mum. I feel your pain. Never imagined Guildford is that horrible traffic-wise. I think I know better now. I thought I could do anything really. Currently, his school is 20 minutes drive from home. Didn't want to change his school after we moved from the area. So I thought I was "omnipotent". If I can do 20, I can do 45.

@samade - fortunately we're not nearly that far out. We are about 7 miles north west of Guildford and that's absolutely far enough! By the time you've done a morning drop off and afternoon pick-up and then factored in some evening events, that's quite enough time in the car let alone coming from 3-4 times as far away!

The other thing about the train is the social life! We're on the edge of Guildford so boys went into town on the bus and felt they missed out a bit on the train socialising.
Tbh the town centre location and easy public transport was a big plus for me for RGS. It's flexible to go in early/leave late for sports/music/social stuff etc.
