Has this become a real company or is it the same silly joke?

They purchased a 3 vehicle operator's license of Snowdonia in Wales. The operator was dormant when they purchased it with no vehicles, but it finally does give them to chance to run buses. It is this operator that has registered the Christmas Day service.
Are they literally just operating over Christmas?

Ah the gift that keeps giving provides once more
For a company that's providing one bus service one day a year, having three buses in company livery (as per the three on the homepage) is impressive
I'd be willing to bet the service is just some bloke driving round in a taxi
Also "If we ever let you down we'll give you a FREE travel voucher so your next journey is on us."
What. Next year?

The MAN / Meridian is back with Wheelers, it's owner.
Can't Cityfox just operate bus Services because I mean what's the point of operating over Christmas and then advising it and putting a lot of effort for one bus service in the entire year. But I suspose NXWM, Diamond, Stagecoach, First, Arriva and NXC don't operate over Christmas meaning if you want to go somewhere you have to walk so fair play there but still Pointless.

PMSL, Rhys Hand does it again
"A key part of the philosophy that drives our growth is the desire to innovate and explore new opportunities."
Even if they just run one bus service it will be growth,
Don't they realise that the reason very very very few bus services are operated on Christmas Day is because there is no demand.
Parliament today has been debating whether shops should be forced to close on Boxing Day because over 100,000 people had signed a petition. Although it will never happen, it does point to the fact that people need a break at Christmas, bus services are moving closer and closer to becoming a Sunday Service and the consultation document for the new London Midland franchise asks the bidders to consider whether a boxing day service would be achievable??
apparently YX53 RXK has turned up on the Christmas services, a dual door Scania Omnicity new to Metrobus, but latterly with Connexions, North Yorkshire

I honestly can't imagine anyone was that much of a bus nut to actually go and see on Christmas Day itself, but that said someone somewhere has noted what bus it was so maybe...

The photo I have seen was taken today, when First were running in Bristol as well
City Fox's 60 most directly follows Wessex route 51 which didn't run on Boxing Day which could explain why they chose to run on both Christmas and Boxing Days.
