Being a “Sooth Moother” (actually from Whitwell in Derbyshire) I used to think that I’d got a horrid journey to/from school in Chesterfield in the late 50’s & early 60’s and using service busses. It took about an hour to school and 1 3/4 hours returning to home.
Reading some of the stories of journeys that children in Shetland (and Orkney) have to carry out, I can fully understand how they will feel and sympathise with them.
