THIS year’s John Lewis Christmas advert seems to have rubbed off on MoreBus, as passengers across Bournemouth and Poole are being treated to a special piano-themed bus this December.

The MoreBus creation is hoping to get passengers into the Christmas spirit with an array of carols and plenty of opportunities to get involved in a little festive sing-a-long, for those travelling along its routes.

“We’ve fitted this one-of-a-kind bus with a piano and we have a pianist on-board to entertain our customers,” said Morebus head of communications, Nikki Honer.

“It’s all about bringing out the festive spirit. And those travelling with Morebus won’t be in any doubt that it’s the piano bus when boarding - because of its striking livery.

“This is just another reason for people to leave their cars at home and enjoy travelling by bus this December - whether they’d like to relax and listen to music whilst journeying to work or to join in the fun whilst celebrating the party season.”

The piano bus will be out and about on various routes between now and the New Year.
