B isn't home from school yet. New school hours dictate she leaves an hour earlier so old transport is unable to bring her. So with new transport she should be home around 4.15. 15 minutes ago I get a call from school. New transport did arrive on time. Get B on but can't fit the other girl on. Transport has a ramp not a tail-lift. B reversing out nearly falls off the edge, member of staff had to grab her. Escort doesn't speak much English except apparently the word - OK - how wonderful that would be in an emergency. Old transport driver been sent to pick her up whilst new one takes the other girl home. B will not get home until 6.
How stupid. I rang the transport management company as it is a new contract. They apologetic and are going to terminate their contract on Monday and find a company who can fit both girls in, with a tail lift and an escort who can communicate!
Teething problems they say. Funny how many people I know who have teething problems across the country with their children's school transport. It isn't that hard really is it? Surely!
