North Staffordshire CRP

On 2nd October keen walkers from the Duke Street Day Centre for adults with learning disabilities travelled part of their route by train.  The group travelled from Longport to Stoke-on-Trent, then walked back following the canal towpath.  At both stations the travellers received informal travel training by using ticket machines and learning about safety features.
