A packed-out Plymouth bus lit like a 'dodgy nightclub loo' has left passengers scratching their heads tonight.

The 'festive' 35a Plymouth Citybus, operated by Go-Ahead, was illuminated solely by a neon-blue strip light for its journey from the city centre towards Ham.

When confused passengers quizzed the driver why it was more 'public toilet' than 'public transport' he reportedly only told them: "Because it's Christmas."

Plymouth Live reporter Katie Timms, one of the baffled passengers, said: "It's virtually pitch at the back of the bus and it's packed.

"It does feel a bit unsafe. Nobody seems phased by it though. The driver just joked it was festive."

One passenger when asked about the light replied: ""I've never noticed it before. It's a bit dark and strange."

Another man just said "I think it's to distract people, if it was for Christmas it would be red.

"Looks like ultra-violent, don't it?"

Go-Ahead has been approached for comment, but it's not thought to be something you're likely to see on many of its services.
