louan Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 When I left school in the late 50s, S U T were just about the only private coach firm in Sheffield. They took us to Belgium on a school trip in 1956, the driver was called uncle Simm by us kids, presumably that was his surname, I well remember the coach being slung aboard the ferry by a crane, this was before roll on roll off ferries. We thought it was really posh, because it had a polished wood bulkhead with a clock set in it, I believe the coaches were A E Cs. Forgotten about that. A group of us from western. Road school went to holland and belgium with sut around 1956. do schools still do trips abroad. Perhaps not since everyone holidays abroad nowadays.
