I WISH school children would behave properly on public transport. This follows an unpleasant journey from the Padiham Road area of Burnley to Nelson on January 29. Pupils who boarded the bus were very badly behaved.

When I was at school we had special bus services, which meant the public did not mix with unruly pupils. I would suggest that either behaviour improves or pupils are banned from using service buses and are made to walk to teach them a lesson.
