Oxford Bus Company has announced later shuttle services for visitors attending this year’s South Park fireworks display, providing additional travel options after the event.
The annual gathering is organised by Oxford Round Table volunteers and returns to South Park on Saturday, November 7.
Since its launch in 1967, the event has generated more than £1 million for charities.
Oxford Bus Company managing director Luke Marion said the company was once again supporting the community event by arranging a later shuttle from South Park.
He said the extended service would give attendees more time to enjoy the festivities while retaining access to affordable and convenient transport when they depart.
Marion also praised Oxford Round Table for organising the yearly event and raising funds for local good causes.
The special 450 shuttle links Thornhill Park & Ride with South Park and also serves St Clement’s and Cherwell Street.
Outbound buses leave Thornhill from 4.15pm through to 6.45pm.
Return journeys depart from Cherwell Street between 7.45pm and 10.15pm.
The 450 operates in addition to the regular 400 service, creating a combined departure interval of five minutes before the later period.
Standard bus fares remain in force, while a £3 combined parking and travel ticket can be purchased at Thornhill for as many as five people.
The quieter fireworks are scheduled to start at 6.30pm, with the principal display beginning at 7.15pm.
Following the fireworks, the event will host a silent disco.
Food, drinks and fairground attractions will also be available throughout the evening.
