YORK bus company First is to donate £1 to Macmillan Cancer Support for every extra registered bus journey taken during Catch The Bus Week, which begins on Monday.

When customers register their journey on the First website (firstgroup.com), £1 will be donated to Macmillan, with the hope of raising £20,000.

Customers will also be able to take part in an X-Factor style vote to decide which local charity can benefit from extra donations.
