We’re delighted to
launch the inaugural
Open Top Bus UK Cup 2023

Over the balmy summer months, there are some fab scenic open top bus routes, most of all are showcased on our website and some coming soon!

Open to participants in Great Scenic Journeys, this knock-out competition will see customers vote on their favourite, as open top bus routes go head to head. The Final will be decided by advocacy from customers and one of our Customer Experience Reviews from our dedicated team of accreditors.

The winner will be presented with the prestigious trophy at the end of the open top bus season. Check out our social media channels and this website for further updates and the opportunity to vote as the competition unfolds.

First though, here is the draw for the 1st Round of the Cup and there’s some great local derbies and some fascinating ties as coasts meet lakes, cities are paired with each other and traditional rivalries between transport companies are renewed!

All First Round ties will be played by 25 July 2023.
