Leave the car at home – and catch the Six Nations by bus

The annual competition begins this evening when France host Wales, then Scotland will play Italy, and Ireland will take on England tomorrow. Venues around the area, such as local pubs and restaurants are offering rugby fans the chance to get out and support your national teams, and to have a drink during the game.

So now is the time to get together with friends and family and take the safe, easy and great value way to get home!

Darren Roe, Managing Director of Stagecoach East, said: “We know that this is an exciting time for a lot of rugby fans, many of whom will want a beer or a wine while they support their teams. There is no need to take a risk by driving – our local bus services and professional Drivers will get you home, hopefully after watching a great win!

“Travelling by bus is also the environmentally responsible way to get around. Figures from Bus Users UK show that a brand-new diesel car with a single occupant can emit more nitrogen oxides than a new bus carrying 50 or more passengers. A fully loaded double decker bus can take 75 cars off the road.”

The bus is a great value way to get around and the best value tickets are always available on the Stagecoach App – where you can also plan your journey to watch the game!
