Bus operator Morebus is urging fans to leave their cars at home and take the bus to watch England's World Cup semi-final match tonight.

England will face Argentina at 8pm tonight, Wednesday, July 15.

With supporters expected to head out to pubs and parties to cheer on the team, Morebus is encouraging safe travel and urging fans to avoid driving.

Nikki Honer, head of communications at Morebus, said: "These are exciting times for England fans, and we know many are planning a big night out on Wednesday.

"Whilst we encourage people to drink responsibly, we know the temptation may be to sink a few extra beers – and that’s where we come in.

"We all want a happy ending on Wednesday, so our drivers are standing by to ensure fans’ evenings end with them safely returning home."

Ms Honer also highlighted Morebus’ £1 evening fare, available in Zone A from 7pm, making travel both safe and affordable.

She added: "However people intend to watch the match on Wednesday evening, let’s hope all of us fans have something to celebrate by 10pm - Come on England!!!"

The £1 fare does not apply to night bus services.

Full timetable and route information is available at the Morebus website.
