Another great day on the road for 1st Bus Stop Limited! 🚌

We had the pleasure of transporting a brilliant group of Millwall FC supporters in 2 of our coaches up to the King Power Stadium for their match against Leicester City last Friday — and what a result, a draw! A fair share of the spoils on the day.

Millwall are having a fantastic season and promotion talk is very much in the air — we're right behind them! It's always a pleasure serving passionate supporters groups, and this one didn't disappoint.

Whether it's a one-off matchday trip or a regular supporters' run, we've got the comfort, reliability and capacity to get your group there and back safely.
