Transport for London

Santas dash from sleigh to bus, Cinderellas travel free

14 December 2004

London's last minute Santas can dash through the Capital this year and will have a little extra for presents as TfL suspends the Congestion Charge from 25 December - 3 January 2005, historically the period of lowest congestion each year.

Better still, 24 hour Tube, DLR, Tram and bus services will delight party-goers this New Year's Eve with travel free from 2345 to 0430, sponsored by Fosters, whilst carollers will have a chorus of buses to choose from with the largest ever fleet in operation this New Year's Eve.

Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day - Tube and Buses:
