North East rail and bus firm the Go-Ahead Group is to start operating bus services in southern Sweden after snapping up a family run bus company.
The Newcastle-based business has struck a deal to acquire Flexbuss Sverige AB, which provides bus services, school transport, medical transfer and private hire buses, and the vehicle fleet is operated with around 82% renewable fuels.
The company will be integrated into Go-Ahead’s London and International bus division, which operates franchised buses in London, Singapore and Dublin.
