Transport woes again

[RinkyDinkyDoo]

We were just getting a good routine going, and timings falling into place, when one if the dad's of a child on the bus was verbally abusive to the driver. Driver hands notice in on Friday.
New driver didn't show up this morning, they'd given him the wrong address and he has devised a new route, so DS now gets picked up at 8.15 at the earliest. He says that's the route as he has to drop his son off at nursery before 8. Cue me being buggered to get to work on time.
If you work, how do you manage it?
I've contacted a local child minder who does 7.45 start to see if that's feasible, and bus pick up from there, but then saw some LEA's won't pick up from childminders, it has to be the residing address.
My parents live 45 mins away, no friends locally and DH 'doesn't want to trouble' his parents who live 10 mins.
Any suggestions.

Sorry that's really crap. Transport is such a tie in when they won't pick up and drop off elsewhere.
Has the LEA approved this new route or is it something the driver has done off his own back? If it's the drivers doing then speak to the LEA.
Otherwise would work allow you to alter your hours at all? Or have a shorter lunchbreak or finish later?
Failing that then it might be worth asking DH's parents, they might not mind. Worst they can do is say no!

DH did phone Lea, who said they would have a word, but ultimately it's not for the parents, it's the best routes. Which I do understand.
I'm a teacher, so no change to working hours would work.
DH is going to see if he can change his hours, as his job is a little more flexible, but yes it's a pain and I can't see a way of it working at the mo.
My parents would help out in a shot, but the I laws are not really the type for offering help.
Thanks for your reply.

Lol, childminder got back in contact, very nice and polite no from her, she's worried the bus might be late and therefore make her late to drop off her daughter at nursery.
