A BUS company has raised more than £1,000 for local charity Central Aid Society.

Arriva Bus company carried on the tradition of the annual Charity Bus Day on May 27 for the society, Wycombe's oldest charity which helps a number of other good causes.

Many enthusiasts turned up to see the old buses which included two Routemasters from Bristol, an Arriva single decker, and the Thames Valley Show Bus.

Mary Mitchell, charity secretary, said: "Central Aid finds it increasingly difficult to raise sufficient funds.

"Thank you to all the public spirited people who gave their time free of charge to help raise funds for this worth while cause."

She also thanked Colin Baker, former Dr Who star and BFP columnist, who turned up with his family to support the event.
