Stagecoach West has announced its Christmas timetables.
The Stagecoach West Christmas and New Year timetables run from Thursday 22nd December 2022 to Tuesday 3rd January 2023 when normal service will resume. A level of service has been maintained on key routes throughout December, with the exception of Christmas Day.
A summary is detailed below with full timetables found at https://www.stagecoachbus.com/timetables
Rachel Geliamassi, Managing Director, Stagecoach West, said: “Christmas is a special time to spend with family and friends. Whilst ensuring we can still serve our communities over the festive period, the reduced timetables allow our teams to also get a well-deserved break and enjoy time to spend with their loved ones.
“In the most part, our drivers and teams will be here throughout the festivities to make sure our customers can travel to celebrations or, in some instances work, safely and easily. “
In the spirit of Christmas, during December, a number of drivers on selected routes, will be dressed up as Santa and collecting donations for Stagecoach West’s designated animal charities.
