In August, in support of the University of Southampton's Ignite Program, we agreed to donate £100 for every 50,000 passengers who travelled with us in an allocated 4-week period.

Between 16 August and 13 September, we carried just over 201,000 passengers. As we hit this incredible number, we have upped the donation from £400 to £500!

We hope this money can make a positive difference to someone's life at University.

Thank you for travelling with us🫶
