First Bus ‘roars’ into Colchester Zoo’s Christmas ad

If you’ve seen Colchester Zoo’s Christmas advert ‘Tiger Spirit’, you may have spotted First Bus’ colourful Zoo bus playing a starring role.

The advert follows the story of a young girl and her quest to find the courage to make friends.

After she hears a tiger growl, her parents take her to Colchester Zoo on the number 75 bus service expertly driven by one of Santa’s elves, where she enjoys Christmas with her family.
