St Luke's Festival of Light Park & Ride
We're back again on 1st December, providing a park and ride shuttle service to St Luke's Festival of Light, which has been a long-standing tradition between First Bus and St Luke's.
This year we will be using our special 25th anniversary St Luke's bus to take you to the event, plus we will also have our 24 plate EV bus that's currently on trial.
The free park and ride service for visitors will run between the Tesco car park at Millhouses, and St Luke's at Little Common Lane, to help ease traffic in the area and limit parking for residents nearby.
