I'm not 100% sure, but I think several of the pupils living in the East Boldon or Cleadon area got together at one house, which has a massive garden, and got on it there.

It was apparently organised by the pupils and parents, and not the Academy.

It is a really good idea as having an open top bus is not only an extra treat for the students, but it helps prevent traffic congestion in and around Whitburn Village.

However, I don't know how much it costs to hire out the open top buses.
