Get into the holiday spirit and travel car-free!

West Berkshire Council are pleased to once again offer FREE bus travel across West Berkshire on the following Saturdays: 16 November, 14 December, and 21 December.

This fantastic initiative has been developed in partnership with our local bus operators and aims to encourage the community to explore sustainable transportation options while enjoying a day out during this festive period without the need for a car.

Simply board your bus within West Berkshire on the applicable Saturday and travel completely free, all day! Concessionary bus pass holders can also use this promotion. The offer applies to all journeys beginning and ending in West Berkshire, making it easy to get around or connect to nearby towns. To make full use of the free travel, remember to ask the driver for a return ticket when you board.Reading Buses, Newbury & District, Thames Travel, Stagecoach, and the council’s Connect buses are all on board for this festive initiative.

This free bus travel offer has been made possible by funding from HM Government, given to West Berkshire Council to support bus service improvements through our Enhanced Partnership with local bus operators.
