Passengers will find it easy to travel across the Isle of Wight this Christmas Day – thanks to special services from Southern Vectis.
The operator has just announced its festive timetable – including extended services to help get local people and visitors into town for celebrations, to reunite families on Christmas Day, and even to get them home on New Year’s Day.
Southern Vectis’ general manager, Richard Tyldsley says:
“We want to encourage people to leave their cars at home and really enjoy Christmas and New Year with their friends and family.
“All fares will remain the same over the festive period, allowing our customers to put their pennies towards those extra special presents.
“Access to bus services on Christmas Day is a rarity across the UK – even for those living in London – so we’re very proud to offer one of the nation’s most comprehensive bus operations.”
Southern Vectis is introducing a number changes to its regular services throughout the festive period – from Christmas Day to New Years Day inclusive – and the full timetable is now available to view online at www.islandbuses.info
