Stagecoach’s martial arts promotion

Stagecoach North East has teamed up with Solo Martial Arts in Newcastle to offer bus passengers a free martial arts or fitness class throughout January. Operations Director, Stagecoach North East, Matt Cranwell, said, ‘We’re keen to encourage the local community to be more active and improve their health and wellbeing – and taking the bus is one way to do this – with the walking time from your destination to bus stop and back helping to burn calories. Taking this to the next level, working with Solo Martial Arts seems to be the perfect partnership, as we can encourage bus passengers to take that extra step – or kick – towards a healthier lifestyle. We look forward to hearing from our passengers after their classes and seeing the results.’
