Students welcomed an unusual guest to Stockton Riverside College today (Wednesday April, 29) as TITAN the robot paid a visit.
The eight-foot robot, which has made appearances all over the world and has featured on TV shows including Big Brother and The Gadget Show, entertained students and staff with its own blend of comedy, street theatre and music.
The unique visit was organised by Arriva North East as part of the firm’s drive to launch its new line of state of the art MAX buses, delivering the X12 service in Stockton, Middlesbrough, Durham and Newcastle.
Stockton Riverside College’s Student Services Manager, Julie Wilson, said: “We enjoyed welcoming TITAN the robot and the Arriva North East team to the college.
“With free bus travel now available for our students, travelling to and from college, it seemed apt to offer the chance to have a look at the latest in bus technology.”
Nick Knox, area managing director for Arriva North East said: “As a company we are always looking into new technologies and concepts in order to enhance the journey experience.
“What better way to celebrate the launch of MAX than with a world famous robot?”
