Name a Borough Bus competition

Could you help us name Royal Borough buses? A new competition has been launched in partnership with Carousel to help name new buses and show the very best of the Royal Borough.

Over 250 fantastic ideas were submitted by residents, following the competition’s launch last month - and now you can vote for your favourites!

The final shortlist is:

• Elizabus
• Borough Beacon
