trentbarton has announced its bus services for Christmas 2024 and over the New Year.
Tom Morgan, managing director at trentbarton, said: “Helping our customers get around in the run up to Christmas and then the New Year is a highlight of our year.
“We’re gearing up for a busy festive period as people travel to shop, get to work and back, meet up with friends and family, and enjoy the revelry in our towns and cities.
“We’ll have lots of buses on the road on Christmas Eve and after Boxing Day, plus on New Year’s Eve to get people to their celebrations and enjoy a safe ride home on our night buses.”
The festive season’s changes begin on Christmas Eve. A normal Tuesday service will run until the last departures leave from around 6pm onwards.
There will be no services on Christmas Day or New Year’s Day. On Boxing Day only skylink Nottingham and skylink Derby will run a Sunday service.
New Year’s Eve on Tuesday 31 December will see a Saturday service across the network with last departures around 8pm. Special timetables will then operate on services which have Saturday night buses, until the usual last bus.
