HERE'S one traveller who knows how to holiday on the buses...

Andrew Cowell, 48, used the £2 fare cap to visit 82 towns in a 1,000-mile trek that took him just 13 days.

The railway operations planner used 80 buses for his adventure across England and Wales. He left his home in Allestree, Derbys, on June 10 and travelled 115 miles to Lancaster in one day on six routes.

Andrew said: "It's a wonderful way to travel because you can take everything in and when there is a stop in a town or I have to change I have a chance to explore somewhere I wouldn't normally.
