Portsmouth's Christmas park-and-ride, which allows a family of shoppers to travel into the city for just £2, is operating again on Saturday December 15. The service, from Portsmouth City Council, is also running next Saturday - so it's just the ticket for Christmas shopping.
Once again, drivers can park at Lakeside, the home of IBM at Northarbour. The £2-per-car fare allows them and all their passengers to travel between Lakeside, the city centre and Gunwharf Quays.
Passengers can hop around the different drop-off points on the same ticket.
Buses run every seven minutes between Lakeside and the city centre, with alternate buses going on to Gunwharf Quays.
The park-and-ride runs from 9am to 6pm and there is no charge to park. The £2 fare is a contribution towards the council's costs in providing the bus service, which is operated by First Hampshire & Dorset.
Last year nearly 4,000 people in almost 2,000 cars used the service, easing congestion on city roads and helping bring business to local shops.
A toilet is provided in the car park and is fully maintained while the bus services are operating. First Hampshire & Dorset provide staff at the site.
