On Thursday, November 17, a very lucky group of WEA Literacy and Numeracy students from Fulwell Community Resource Centre were offered the chance to visit the Stagecoach Depot at the Wheatsheaf and through the bus wash. The visit was organised by Steve Walker Managing Director after a request from WEA tutor Pam Davis. It was a fantastic learning experience and a special thanks to Colin Gardner engineering manager, Steve Hamilton our driver for the day and Colin the engineer who provided us with so much information.
