YOUNGSTERS from a Redditch first school spent a day learning about public transport thanks to Diamond Bus.

Children from Holyoakes Field First School have been learning about public transport and as part of the project, they took a special bus journey from their school through Batchley.

As part of the exercise, the students had to ask the bus driver for a ticket and they each paid 50p, which has been donated to the Primrose Hospice.

They were also able to ask questions about the benefits of using buses.

A school spokesman for the school said: "The children all thoroughly enjoyed the experience and we are really grateful to Diamond for everything they did for the school by organising these trips."

Chris Bridges, Diamond Redditch Operations Manager said:" We were delighted to be able to help Holyoakes School. Our Driver and Customer Service Advisor who arranged the trips loved meeting the children and answering all of their questions."
