    'Safeguarding issues' caused by timetable changes

    I live in Ulverston! There aren’t 200 kids that get the train home. 50/60 at most. The station is a 5 minute walk from the school maximum. If rushed can be done in 2. There is a bus to barrow which is slightly longer. Bus is more expensive too.

    Drunkenness / Alcohol consumption policy?
