Free bus travel in the West Midlands

Free bus travel and not just for pensioners - now there’s something! Between Monday 9 December and Friday 13 December, all buses across the West Midlands will be free to use from 7pm onwards, with passengers able to simply hop onboard and travel anywhere across the West Midlands bus network.

The offer was launched by the mayor of the West Midlands, in partnership with all bus operators in the area. It’s aimed at encouraging people to ditch the car and avoid the stress and expense of driving and parking during Christmas.

Now for some quick bus trivia. London’s iconic red buses weren’t always red. Nope! In the early 1900s, London’s Transport system was operated by lots of different companies. In 1907, the London General Omnibus Company painted its entire fleet red to stand out from competitors and they’ve stayed red ever since.

Iceland

It’s not just our wardrobes that need a makeover at Christmas, it’s our freezers too. And Iceland is the perfect place to give them a refresh, with offers like 10 Birds Eye items for just £10 or mix and match five products for only £5.

Check out other great Iceland deals here.

Another reason why we love Iceland…  earlier this year it published ‘Frozen Out’ - the first-ever supermarket manifesto, to give its customers a voice in the general election campaign. Now that’s what we call a supermarket for the people.

That’s it folks, stay poised for more deals, discounts and random brand facts next week.
