The free Christmas Day vintage double decker bus service is returning to Putney and Roehampton again this year.
Staffed by volunteers, the vehicle which dates from the fifties, will run a half hourly service between Danebury Avenue and Putney Bridge Station.
The bus leaves Roehampton at 9:30am, 10:00am and every half hour until 3pm, and leaving Putney Bridge Station at 10am and every half hour until 3.30pm.
The bus will serve all the usual route 430 stops between Roehampton and Putney Bridge.
You are reminded that the buses are not fully accessible, and children’s buggies will have to be folded up before boarding.
Organiser Richard Shirley says, “The vintage buses are London Transport ‘RT’ types, the standard 1950s London double deck bus, of which over 7000 were made.
“Do come out and visit a pub, church, friends and family, enjoy a walk by the river or in Richmond Park, or just bring the children for a ride.”
