AS two adults who regularly go into school to help in various ways, we are writing to express our great appreciation of the two local coach companies who came to the rescue of a theatre trip to the Alhambra in Bradford on November 29.

At literally a moment’s notice Red Arrow provided a double-decker bus which got us to the theatre just in time; after a thoroughly enjoyable performance Beeline provided two coaches to get us back. All three drivers were cheerful and helpful. Well done!

To Year 5 of Birkby Junior School: You were stars! Not a grumble or complaint about the delay and your behaviour and enjoyment was a credit to yourselves, your families and your school. This was commented on by a number of members of the public as we left. It was a real pleasure to accompany you.
