be careful of those dream modeling jobs. i used to model way back in the day and a lot of them promise you the world but then ask for money. any company that asks for money is not legit. if you need a book made, and they make you use their photographer but also make you pay, they arent legit. i know..off topic a bit..lol. just wanted to warn you. my mom used to be a photographer for models and she would tell you the same thing!! as for transportation....you never said where you live and what the public transportation is like there. i wouldnt allow anything to stop you from a legit, modeling job, so i am sure you will find a way to get there. you cant hold a dream down!! good luck to you!!

Thanks for the advice, i have checked its a legit agency and they dont ask for fees etc, they have a very good website so i know they are a proper agency, i will have to have a look into the public transport. :-) They are London based, i live an hr from London.

If you have a friend with a car that is unemployed, perhaps they'd love to get out of the house for the day and drive you to/from where you need to go in exchange for you paying for the petrol and buying them a sandwich for lunch. They can use the spare time to wander around new towns, or maybe sit quietly in awe in the corner of your shoot :) Good luck!
