Coach firm plans extra M25 sight-seeing tours following exceptional demand

Days out co-ordinator Simon Ashcroft is amazed at the demand for the tours.

A COACH firm offering tours around the M25 has been forced to add extra dates due to phenomenal demand.

News Shopper reported in January how Brighton and Hove Bus and Coach Company planned the one-off sight-seeing tour to appreciate the motorway we all love to hate.

However the company has already sold nearly 100 tickets and a further two dates have been added to the schedule.

Days out co-ordinator Simon Ashcroft said: “The interest from all cross sections of the public has been very good and as a result it’s sparked us into selecting an additional two dates.

“It’s caused much amusement for me - I’m still trying to understand why our “flight of fancy” has captivated the public’s imagination but long may it continue.”

The highlight of the four-hour tour, which includes a live commentary, is the Dartford Crossing.

Tickets for the new dates – on April 24 and May 9 – are available from buses.co.uk.
