Santa Visits his Bus Grotto

On December 8 Father Christmas visited the Oxford Bus Museum and gave presents to the younger visitors, who also enjoyed the Christmas music played by the Yarnton Band. Some of the children also supplemented the band by playing the sleigh bells.

Heritage Bus rides were popular with an extra trip put on for a group of rainbows, the youngest section of Girl Guides in the UK. Another attraction was the model train layouts which were brought by Oxford and District Model Railway Club.

Santa has kindly agreed to return to the museum next to Hanborough Station next Sunday, 15 December.
