Government awards grants for green buses - knutstransport - 25/07/2016 10:51

Merseytravel are to get almost £5m to fund 72 buses. It's not clear whether the 8 buses for Transdev will be used in the North West or not.

Great news for Merseyside. Looking forward to seeing what electric single deckers are ordered for Green Lane

I understand Stagecoach Manchester have re-timed the Saturday service on the 7 (Stockport-Dane Bank-Ashton) based on such buses being available for 10th September

I thought you were discribing Metrolink for a second them Smile
