THOUSANDS of National Express West Midlands staff will be wearing festive Christmas jumpers as part of their uniform tomorrow to help raise funds for Save the Children. Bus drivers, engineers, travel shop and office staff will be taking part in the festive fund raising event to help raise money for children in some of the world's worst situations.

Karl Crumpton, from Halesowen, who has been driving buses for 18 years, said “We will all be paying £2 to wear our festive jumpers to work. I am sure I will be getting a few odd looks from my regular customers on Friday but it’s all for a great cause.”
