Information From the "Stagecoach Bus" Facebook Page:
Make way for the next generation of designers! During #CTBW, our Stagecoach North East team visited St Albans RC Primary School in Walker where over 200 pupils took part in a competition to design their own bus livery.
Assistant Operations Manager, Tommy Blacker, Martin Foster, bus driver and Eco-Champion and engineer, David Wynn from Walkergate bus depot were seriously impressed with all the brightly coloured designs and the creation of the excellent catchphrase “ride our... bus to the save the fuss”.
Five pupils - Daisy Lee Norwood, 6, Lily Miller, 7, Elana Rojas, 9, Lily Gills, 11 and Exodus Guangal 11 - wowed the judges and received individual prizes of book tokens.
Our North East team also presented a cheque for £674 to St Albans and its sister school, Sir Charles Parson School. The money was raised after seven members of staff from the local depots cycled over 40 miles around Tyne & Wear in a sponsored bike ride, as well as a donation from the company for staff who took part in a ‘leave your car at home’ day.
Possibly a sign of future investment for Walkergate/Slatyford depot?
