The Cleanest and Greenest Buses In Staffordshire
Published 19 October 2011
Three Volvo B5RLH Hybrids with Wrightbus Eclipse Gemini 2 body work entered service on 17th October on our premier route X1 between Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent and Stafford Beaconside.
The route was started in 2004 at the request of Staffordshire University and, over time, has developed into a partnership including London Midland Trains as a rail replacement service. Initially, the service operated with midi buses and, over the last 2 years, has grown into full single deck vehicles and many times last year was “bursting at the seams”. Three double deckers have been introduced for this year.
