It does, indeed, take a lot (an inordinate) amount of effort to organise trips, and they are the first things to go when teachers are over overwhelmed, which is increasingly the case, sadly
There was an interesting discussion on here a couple of weeks ago about the cost of transport for events - prices have increased massively in recent years and this is stopping teachers taking students out.
Indeed, but in this case the transport is free because for the targeted schools the venue is within walking distance (or free local bus). AND schools are being offered a bursary to cover supply teachers. So there's more to it than just money.
