Hi there, about six weeks ago I picked up the kids from school. I had turned off the ignition and waited for the kids. Once they were in the car I cranked it over and no start. This went on for about fifteen to twenty minutes then it started. Up until about a week a go the car would not start at all. I have checked spark which is fine. I removed fuel pump and tested and this seems to be working and seems that petrol is not getting to the fuel rail. Any advice please. Thank you.

I would suggest a diagnostic scan for a start.
If the fuel pump is working and you have fuel pressure at the fuel rail but is not being delivered to the cylinders, it could be a fault with the cam sensor. Try some starting fluid to see if it starts, at leas briefly. The link below should be helpful.
