All at once

You don't see a bus for ages and then you see dozens of brand new ones all at once !

In fact I have never seen so many buses all in one place as I did today at Alexander Dennis Ltd (ADL) in Falkirk.

They manufacture over 30% of the buses in the UK and have a huge and growing overseas trade as well . They are a remarkably successful company employing over 900 people in Falkirk alone and with strong links to Forth Valley College and to the local supply chain.

Today's visit was to meet apprentices - here the centre of the media attention - whilst announcing good employment figures and celebrating the company's new 5 year deal with National Express which is worth £100 million pounds.
