Santa Claus dumped his sleigh and caught a bus to visit children in south Oxford.
Santa drops by at Rose Hill
He took a trip on the new-look Stagecoach buses being used in and around Rose Hill, after the company invested £100,000 to improve services to the area.
Pictured, left, is Iain Harding and his children David, two, and Sian, six months.
The new buses are easier to board and more spacious.
Children from Rose Hill First School were more interested in Santa Claus, who was armed with gifts for them during his visit aboard the No 3 bus at The Oval, Rose Hill.
They boarded the bus to receive a hug and some festive cheer from him, as well as a small gift.
