Coach drivers reported to Police.
Fire crews have shared pictures of a rather unusual rescue on Monday lunchtime.
They were called to a country lane near Moretonhampstead where 2 coaches had become stuck.
One managed to get out, but crews had to rescue 44 Year 6 pupils and their teachers from the other.
In a post on Facebook they said: "The year 6 pupils were all very brave and showed excellent ladder mounts as firefighters on and off the bus helped them to safety. In total, 44 students plus 5 members of the faculty were rescued. We hope to see 44 applications for the Fire Service in 8 years time!"
In a statement, Police said: "Police were called to Wray Barton, Moretonhampstead, at around 10.55am on Monday 16th September with reports a coach, carrying schoolchildren, was stuck in a very narrow road.
