Police praise Bus Vannin and Braddan Primary School

Fri, 15 Feb 2019

Isle of Man Constabulary has thanked Braddan Primary School and Bus Vannin for their help following a collision.

Braddan Road was closed yesterday afternoon following a collision involving a female pedestrian and car.

Investigation work meant the main entrance to the school could not be accessed by parents to pick their children up.

A joint effort between the police, school and Bus Vannin saw children ferried by bus to a nearby car park to be picked up.

Bus Vannin provided two double-decker buses at short notice. Over 150 children were transported to Vagabond Rugby Club to be picked up by wating parents.

Bus Vannin also rerouted school buses to ensure that those children that got a bus home were unaffected.
