Buses cheer on Pudsey

BUSES across Portsmouth have been adorned with the famous yellow and polkadot of Pudsey the Bear this week.

For the past two days, the number 21 and 23 Stagecoach services have had bus drivers dress up in yellow, handing out free cakes for Children In Need.

This was the second year that the bus company has backed the annual charity campaign.

Rachael Street, a driver from the Portsmouth depot, said: ‘This initiative is enormously close to the hearts of all of the Stagecoach South team. They all happily throw themselves into these couple of days, recognising how important the BBC Children in Need Appeal is.’
