Valerie Letheren, Cabinet Member for Transportation said “This really is a wonderful offer allowing families to get out and about over the summer holidays. With so many things in the county to see and do, taking the bus is the perfect way to have a great day out when the children are on holiday from school.” Brian Drury, Commercial Director of Arriva the Shires and Essex commented, “We’re delighted to work in partnership with Buckinghamshire County Council once again, with this fantastic offer to coincide with school holidays. The campaign was a real success last year and helped to encourage many thousands of people to use the bus to enjoy days out. We hope the offer will do the same again this year.”
