Shannon:

The thought that all students would have to go to Diagon Alley to get 
their school supplies anyway, since even in Hogsmeade I do not 
remember them saying anything about stores that carry the supplies 
the kids would need, would make it seem reasonable that they travel 
from Kings Cross to school.  I mean it's not like in the WW they have 
to travel as muggles do, they can apparate and travel by floo and 
other ways to get to the area.

Just my opinion
