Cardiff Bus
RE: Cardiff Bus
Cardiff Bus has placed an order for ten 9.7 metre Enviro200s which feature a new variant of the current livery. They're due to enter service in March so not long to wait before they arrive. It's interesting and great to see that they're increasing the size of the fleet rather than replacing anything

RE: Cardiff Bus
Cardiff Bus have ordered 36 Yutong E12s which will enter service at the end of the year

Also mentioned by myself in the Bus Vannin thread is the acquisition of twelve Mercedes-Benz Citaros from the latter

CBW magazine also reports an order for 16 more electrics for Newport, doubling their electric fleet. Lots of investment in South Wales right now !

That's great news. Wales was left behind where "eco buses" were concerned so I'm really pleased that this is starting to change. I think it's interesting that operators are starting to opt for the Yutong E12 in strong numbers too

On another note the first ex-Bus Vannin Citaro has arrived after repaint into a blue variant of the new livery seen on the rendering of the Yutong released this afternoon. Very smart!

RE: Cardiff Bus
All these electric buses for Cardiff and Newport are encouraging. Alas Stagecoach are no longer purchasing electric buses for the Caerphilly area at this stage.

The latest order for Newport makes me wonder if the funding for the Caerphilly EVs was reallocated?

Good point, although it would tell us something about Welsh politics if true.
