Stagecoach Yorkshire have revealed the new Christmas bus which will be travelling across South Yorkshire & North Derbyshire in the run up to Christmas.

Look out for the bus on our local route and you may even see one of Santa’s helpers driving the bus.”

Stagecoach drivers will also be taking part in a Christmas Jumper month throughout December to get into the Christmas spirit whilst raising money for Age UK, Stagecoach’s chosen charity.

“Many of our drivers will be getting into the Christmas spirit to bring a smile to our customers, young and old, throughout December by wearing Christmas jumpers or even dressed as Santa.” said Matt Kitchin.
