I've read the 50 odd page travel plan on the council site re the survey that was completed in October - all the bus routes mentioned come in and out of this terminus.
Also the Council reckon only 74 children will be disadvantaged by the move to TM. The bus routes they quote almost all come in and out of GLASGOW CITY COUNCIL areas- not East Dunbartonshire.
They dismiss Meadowburn and Balmuidy in one sentence and Kenmure in two, in a whole report of 50 pages! Guess it's just tough if you live in Meadowburn.
It looks like the school is going to be used in future by people from Glasgow area. so much for EDC council taxpayers!
I don't think the Council are building a school to benefit Glasgow - they have stopped almost all secondary placing requests.
As I said at the meeting...
"I wonder if the plan will be carried out after the pupils have ALL moved to the High School site and the Thomas Muir site is unoccupied?"
That's exactly what happened, in October - possibly in the school holidays.
Still undecided if this decision was made for the 'educational' benefit of the children?
2007 here we come...

Considering the majority of pupils residing west of Kirkintilloch road have approx 20 mins added to their journey to school I cannot understand where only 74 pupils are disadvantaged came from More like 74% of pupils are disadvantaged by move of site I trust this dubious so called travel plan will end up in public domain for all to see
