Following last year's success Norwich Routemaster are offering festive shoppers the chance to hop on a vintage London bus to raise money for The Big C.
Last year David McMaster, who runs Awayadays Routemaster Hire, raised £1,500 for The Benjamin Foundation by allowing the public onto his bus for free.
This year shoppers will be able to experience the charm of a genuine London bus, complete with driver and conductor dressed ready for Christmas.
David and his team have chosen The Big C following the sad loss of two of their colleagues, Ray Traynor and David Brown.
Dr Chris Bushby, Chief Executive at Big C said, 'We are honoured to have been chosen as this year's charity for the Christmas vintage bus rides in memory of the team's colleagues.'
