ROUTE 430 – CHRISTMAS DAY – FREE VINTAGE BUS SERVICE

Our free vintage bus service will run again on Christmas Day 2025 between Roehampton and Putney Bridge Station, staffed by volunteers from 1950s Vintage Bus Hire and The London Bus Museum.

Buses will leave Roehampton Danebury Avenue at 09:30, and every 30 minutes until 15:30, and will leave Putney Bridge Station at 10:00, and every 30 minutes until 16:00. However Richard who organises the bus service and has driven every year since 2017 has snapped a tendon in his leg, and is unable to be with us, so there will be one less bus than last year, and a gap of an hour at lunch time.

We will serve all the usual route 430 stops between Roehampton and Putney Bridge. Please note our buses are not fully accessible, and children’s buggies will have to be folded up before boarding.

Our vintage buses are a London Transport ‘RT’ type, and a Routemaster. These were the standard London double deck buses of the 1950s and 1960s. Do come out and visit a pub, church, friends and family, enjoy a walk by the river or in Richmond Park, or just bring the children for a ride.

It’s Christmas Day and the journey’s on us!
