I'll jump in too. I'm about to start PPL with another school which does not offer night rating or anything beyond PPL. I'm considering going the full length to CPL IR/ME APC MCC.
The only issue with getting to Stapleford is the I'd have to walk along that main road it's based for around a mile on after getting a bus. The bus for that road does not run on weekends and I do not have a car here in London I can use, yet. Anyone been to Stapleford and know if that road would be safe to walk along? I would be coming from the East side of that road. Or is there somewhere that would be practical to get a cab from?
