With County Hall cutbacks which will reduce bus services kicking in this week, the volunteer-run Stevenage Farmers’ Market is aiming to redress the balance.
The not-for-profit organisation already provides a free classic bus service between the High Street and the bus station during its monthly market.
And now it has gone a step further by offering a free journey on each market day from Ware, Hertford, Waterford, Stapleford, Watton at Stone and Bragbury End to Stevenage.
The service will then run between the market and the bus station from 10am to 2pm during the market as before, with the 1950-vintage Green Line RT double-decker returning travellers to the villages and towns after the market as per the inward journey.
The classic vehicle is owned and operated by Chris Wills, a former RT driver for London Country at Stevenage bus garage in the 1970s.
The High Street market runs from 10am and 2pm on Saturday.
