Oxford Christmas Lights Bus spreads festive cheer

The Oxford Christmas Lights Bus spread festive cheer across the county via three sparkling tours.

Bedecked in flashing Christmas lights, the bus toured communities around Oxfordshire playing popular festive hits.

Oxford Bus Company, Thames Travel and City Sightseeing Oxford teamed up with Get Radio to provide the popular tours.

The City Sightseeing Oxford open-topped bus stopped at multiple locations, as selected via a public vote, across three tour dates this month.

Oxford Bus Company  ‘elves’ distributed sweets at various stopping locations and in a further festive boost Grimsdyke Brass Band performed on-board to add to the atmosphere.

Luke Marion, Oxford Bus Company Managing Director, said: “We had an overwhelming response to the Oxford Christmas Lights Bus, with over 2,500 people voting for it to visit their local area and many more coming out to see it in action. It was wonderful to see so many people out on the tours.

“It’s been a privilege for us to make a difference and help spread some joy at this time of year in some of the communities we serve. My thanks to everyone who took part and helped to make each tour such a special occasion.”
