BUS drivers in Harwich have helped to raise thousands of pounds for charity.

First bus conductors drove their routes around Harwich, Clacton and Colchester in fancy dress to raise £2,250 for St Helena Hospice in Colchester.

Passengers were greeted by a number of Father Christmases, a Zorro lookalike and even a male bride as drivers invited those onboard to leave a charitable donation in appreciation of their efforts.
