Net-Zero Stagecoach Fleet
/I was delighted to attend Stagecoach West of Scotland's launch of 27 new zero-emission buses at Ayr bus station on Monday (21/2/23).
The Scottish Government have invested around £15.7m in this project which will see 25 Volvo BZL single-deck buses, the first to operate in the UK, added to the West Scotland electric fleet. Additionally, two Alexander Dennis Limited (ADL) BYD single-deck buses will be introduced, taking the total ADL fleet to 17.
These buses will operate all across Ayrshire and is a massive step towards our leading climate change targets and Net-Zero goals.
I already use one of the buses in the Number 1 service from the Irvine Valley to Kilmarnock - it is fantastic. Therefore, I am really looking forward to this fleet being on the road by March and available for users across Ayrshire and the West of Scotland.
