Bus operators in the North East are preparing to offer passengers a thrilling experience this Halloween. On the last day of October, several Go North East buses will be transformed with festive decorations, while drivers will don eerie outfits to add an extra touch of excitement. These themed buses will be running on key routes, offering both locals and visitors an unforgettable journey during one of the most festive seasons of the year.

Timed to coincide with the school holidays, this initiative provides families the opportunity to explore the region's haunted attractions with ease. The ‘Kids Go Free’ promotion, valid from the end of October to the beginning of November, allows up to a small group of children to travel free with an accompanying adult holding a valid ticket. This initiative opens up the possibility for families to visit a selection of Halloween-inspired sites and participate in local events.

For travelers interested in maximizing this offer, the North East features an array of ghostly locations worth exploring. Lumley Castle, near Chester-le-Street, is one of the region's well-known ghostly locations, with ancient legends of paranormal activity dating back centuries. Additionally, visitors can tour Alnwick Castle, known for its spooky ambiance and ancient legends of the supernatural. Both locations are easily accessible through the transportation services that are part of the offer.

Another must-see attraction is Chillingham Castle in Northumberland, regarded as one of the most haunted castles in the UK. Tourists may also want to visit Newcastle's Castle Keep, which has a rich history of ghost sightings. These places provide not only a glimpse into the region’s past but also the opportunity for a spooky adventure. With the ‘Kids Go Free’ deal, families can visit these spots without the added worry of high travel costs.

For travelers, this Halloween event is more than just a fun-themed journey — it offers a practical and cost-effective way to explore the North East. The combination of free child travel and easy access to historical sites makes this an excellent opportunity for families looking to make the most of the Halloween period. With so many spooky landmarks within reach, the initiative adds a new dimension to seasonal travel plans.

Ultimately, this news means that Halloween in the North East can be enjoyed to the fullest by both tourists and locals alike. The special bus services provide not only a means of transportation but an experience that enhances the festive atmosphere, making travel a central part of the holiday celebrations.
