The city’s main bus company is reminding local people that its city centre circular Service 360 runs every 20 minutes and is the perfect way to get around all the various activities taking place this Saturday (17th November).
• Service 360 for Christmas connections
• Santa Bus at McManus on Light Night
Catch the 360 for festive fun – that’s the message from Xplore Dundee in the run up to Dundee’s Light Night celebrations.
Managing Director Christine McGlasson said: “Whether you’re going to the Light Night celebrations, doing your Christmas shopping, entertaining the kids in the holidays, or travelling further afield – Service 360 is the ideal way to get around the city centre during the next few weeks.
“You can hop on/hop off with your shopping bags or visit the many festive events at the city’s main attractions. Service 360 is also the only link between the railway station and the bus station, which I hope will be very useful for travellers heading home for the holidays or going to visit family and friends at this special time of year.”
Xplore Dundee’s Santa Bus is also back for the festive season and will be making a special appearance at McManus Galleries on Light Night, with Mrs Claus on board to welcome young visitors from 4pm.
The bus operator is prepared for the large numbers of people travelling to and from the city centre for this popular annual event and will have extra buses on standby, as well as staff on hand to help direct customers to their nearest available service.
For those planning their Christmas shopping and making plans to visit family and friends during the next few weeks, Xplore Dundee’s festive timetables are now available. They can be found in the ‘50 Ways to Xplore Dundee this Christmas’ brochure which is accessible online at the company’s website and in the Travel Shop in Commercial Street.
MD Christine McGlasson adds: “Taking the bus is the best way to get around at this time of year – you don’t have to worry about parking or queues, and our network covers all the major retail destinations around Dundee.
“And if you’re going to the office party, we can drive you home, with buses leaving the city centre until late at night. So enjoy your Xmas with Xplore!”
