On Tuesday 29 January 2019 we're launching our first 'Chatty Bus', in response to the Government’s loneliness strategy. With three-in-10 Britons going at least one-day-a-week without speaking to anyone close to them, we want to do something to encourage everyone to talk to those around them.

On 'Chatty Bus' day, between 9.30am and 3pm, buses on Angel 21, Castles Express X21, X9 and X10 will be our designated 'Chatty Buses', where we will have Chatty Bus Champions on board ready to start conversations with fellow passengers who would like a chat. Keeping the atmosphere fun and only engaging with those who want to join in, the Chatty Bus Champions will be striking up conversations using a range of games and ice-breakers.

We'll provide badges for those who want to signify that they would like to join in the conversation, and we won't disturb passengers who prefer not to take part.

Overcoming loneliness improves the health and wellbeing of our local residents and as such, we believe this is a campaign we should all get behind.

So, fancy a chat? Hop on board with us and we'll look forward to talking with you!
