It began from Market Close and made three stops along the half-mile or so journey to the school on Elm Grove.

The pupils wore bright yellow tabards and were a mix of ages and enjoyed a nice day for a walk.

Their parents were the first to agree to the school's requests to start the bus to cut congestion around its site as well as providing some exercise '“ and the chance for a chatter '“ for the youngsters.
