Here’s a great opportunity this December to enjoy a FREE 30-minute ride around Norwich on one of our beautifully restored vintage Routemaster buses as you enjoy the sights and sounds of the festive season in our mediaeval city – what a lovely way to enjoy the Christmas shopping or just sit back, relax and take in the sights and sounds.

Our drivers and conductors will be all decked out for Christmas and ready to welcome you aboard our iconic vintage London Transport Routemaster buses, spreading festive cheer and collecting donations for charity at the same time.

Our team are all bus enthusiasts who have generously offered their time free – for the fifth year - in order to help raise funds for a very worthy local cause that is close to our hearts.

We’ll be spreading festive cheer and collecting donations for The Big C – Norfolk & Waveney’s Cancer Charity.
