Today some of our staff took part in Vehicle Evacuation Training.

During the course, the staff learned the safest way to deal with evacuating passengers in the event of a fire. They spent the morning in the classroom learning and in the afternoon got to put what they'd learnt into practice with some practical exercises out in the yard on one of the buses.

Alex, Frank, Jim, John, George, Eddie, Tony, Mazen, Colin, Laura and Linda all took part today. The rest of the staff will take part in the same course next week.

We also received these photos from one of our drivers who was on the Largs excursion. Frank also had the following to say about the day;

'The clients loved their day & they were off the bus & away like a rocket.

Three clients took the Cal Mac ferry to Mill Port Cumbrae.

So I've included a photo of The Isle of Cumbrae ferry relevant to the day.

I've also sent a photo of Largs Bay, & a bonus for everyone the Waverely Steam Ship came into Largs as we arrived & I got a great photo as it departed doon the water to Dunoon'
