West Yorkshire, Dorset, London, Barrow Expand Bus Services for Summer Events

Several regions in the UK are enhancing and celebrating bus services as a means to boost local tourism and community connectivity. In West Yorkshire, extra buses including doubled frequency on the 96 route to Yorkshire Sculpture Park are being introduced for the summer holidays to facilitate family outings and cultural visits. Meanwhile, in South West England, the Purbeck Breezer bus-ferry service is revitalizing coastal tourism by linking popular seaside towns like Bournemouth and Swanage, increasing visitor numbers and local business footfall. London will see a heritage bus service connecting three pubs in the southeast, offering free rides on a classic bus as part of a local event. Additionally, Barrow is hosting a Festival of Transport featuring classic bus tours on multiple scenic routes to encourage exploration of the town with vintage vehicles. These initiatives highlight a broader trend of using enhanced and heritage bus services to support regional tourism and community engagement.
