PUPILS from Darlington will be taking part in a national world record attempt on Wednesday.

About 100 pupils from Springfield Primary School will join the Guinness Book of Records Walking Bus event.

They will walk to and from the Asda supermarket, in Whinbush Way, Darlington, to raise awareness of child pedestrian safety and the need for motorists to slow down in school areas.

Staff from the store will also be taking part in the event, organised by the road safety charity Brake.
