Reliable Transport for Cardross Pupils

Kids education should come first over all else.

About time. Train service is so unreliable!

The council are trying to cheap out and save money.

ABC is not getting value for money with ScotRail when it has to use additional support from the bus contract. Better to adopt a reliable transport option for Cardross pupils. Disruption to school days are too frequent and leaves parents concerned for pupil wellbeing when expected transport links fail.

Child Safety before Cash Concerns... It's money no object when new council offices were built including that hideous stone head

About time there was a bus provided for Cardross pupils.

There is not a week goes by without disruption to our children’s travel. They are constantly being stranded after school when trains are cancelled

The train service to/from Cardross is unfortunately no longer reliable. There are too many delays and cancellations affecting our children's attendance at school and also their safety and wellbeing. I certainly hope Argyll and Bute Council have been able to claim compensation for all the cancelled trains (I'm sure it would have mounted up). I also appreciate it must be a complete hassle for their School Transport Team and the school staff left trying to arrange buses and notify parents at very short notice. Whilst I believe up till now the train has been a good option for Cardross travellers, the current situation is dire and I would support a suitable alternative provision.

Shocking continuous disruption, this needs sorting out immediately!!! A reliable bus service should be adopted for the pupils - they are continuously let down. Society has a duty to ensure travel to school/university/college is possible. Twice recently I travelled from Glasgow to Cardross, only to be told on the Intercom leaving Dalreoch the train would no longer stop at Cardross. Ridiculous and happening all the time.

The unreliability of transport is now becoming a joke.

So unfair for the kids having to walk down there in the rain and then get sent away also not fair for parents who go to work and then find out their kids haven't made school due to poor transport

Service is unreliable. Last min cancellations

There should be a safe and reliable mode of transport for the children.

The trains have been very disruptive for my children travelling to school. They are often cancelled or delayed. This is a major problem for my youngest daughter who has not long turned 12. She has often been left unsure of what to do. I find this especially worrisome before and after school during the darker mornings and afternoons. I have MS and am often unable to go and help her get home from school. I do not drive when it is darker. After school the school is often unaware that the trains have been disrupted, leaving many children stranded. In recent times the disruption to the trains has become very common regardless of the weather. Not only is this affecting their education but also their saftey.

I feel pupils travelling from Cardross should be allowed the safe and reliable transport to and from school. This is simple requirement to allow continuity of education provisions. Cardross pupils are being disadvantaged compared to peers.

I am sick of having to walk or pay for first bus when trains are cancelled would love a school bus

Totally agree with this petition, as was only yesterday again trains were cancelled and I’m still to here from school confirming this, safety is priority!!

About time

Useless service always leaving kids stranded

Disgusting that trains cannot be relied on - The Council should provide alternative travel for the safety of all the pupils travelling from Cardross.
