Students were left bitterly disappointed after their secondary school failed to book a coach to take them to Alton Towers - leaving them stranded at 4am.
The group of Year 9 students and their teachers from Newquay Tretherras were left waiting for a coach that never turned up for the simple reason that the school mistook a quote for a confirmed booking, reports Cornwall Live.
One of the pupils' grandmothers told our sister paper Cornwall Live that her grandchild had been stuck outside the school at 4am. It turned out that she got the wrong end of the stick and if the coach company did not turn up it was not because they made a mistake and should be 'named and shamed' - but it turns out they were never booked in the first place.
