The stars of Nick Jr.’s PAW Patrol made a special appearance in Oxford to entertain children and promote family bus trips to London. The event, held in Broad Street, Oxford city centre, saw characters from the hit preschool series fascinate more than 300 children.
Bella Heard, one of the delighted attendees, thought it was a scream to meet Chase, the Police Pup. Alongside Chase, Marshall, the firefighter pup, was also in town to celebrate the launch of Oxford Tube’s Kids Go Free travel ticket.
The beloved characters, part of a tech-savvy boy’s pack of six rescue dogs, provided a fun-filled day for young fans. Little ones had the chance to meet and have their photograph taken with their favourite TV stars, tour one of the Oxford Tube coaches, and even sit in the driver’s seat.
Children can now travel on the Oxford to London service for free all year round, thanks to Stagecoach Oxfordshire’s initiative. This initiative is designed to encourage families to explore the sights of London and Oxford without worrying about travel costs.
Managing director Martin Sutton said: “Now the school summer holidays have officially begun we wanted to give the children of Oxford an exciting, and free, day out that they could enjoy with their friends and family – we felt PAW Patrol would certainly put a smile on their faces.
“We hope our Kids Go Free any day, any time of the week tickets will give more families the opportunity to explore the sights of London and Oxford and create some lovely memories to look back on.”
The event not only brought joy to the children of Oxford but also highlighted the benefits of the new free travel initiative, making it easier for families to plan affordable day trips and enjoy quality time together.
