Rural Travel
Is your school out with a 90 minutes drive from Glasgow Science Centre?
The good news is that there is no extra charge for travel to your school for the 2009-10 year.
If your school is more than 3 hours drive from Glasgow, it would be great if you could work with other schools in your cluster - We would be happy to come to your area for several days. This allows us to make our travel funding go further and to make the most out of our trip by visiting as many pupils as possible.
