BUS firm Thamesdown Transport is to re-introduce its popular X99 Cotswold Express route in May.

The seasonal route will be introduced on May 31 and will run on Tuesdays until August 30.

The route offers half-day visits to either Lechlade, the Cotswold Wildlife Park, Burford, Stow-on-the-Wold or Moreton-in-Marsh.

Fares on the route are priced £3.50 for adults and £2.50 for a child to Burford, the Cotswold Wildlife Park and Stow-on-the-Wold.

Passengers showing an X99 ticket at the admission office of the Cotswold Wildlife Park can obtain a discount on entry prices to the park on the day of travel.

Fares to Moreton-in-Marsh are priced £4.50 for adults and £3 for children.

Pre-booking is not required, passengers can simply turn-up and go on the day.
