Bus passengers in part of Nottinghamshire will soon be able to journey on new Stagecoach double deckers. A £50m investment means that from March 2023 200 new low-emission buses will be introduced in certain towns and cities across the country, including in Mansfield.
The new buses will also be introduced in Oxford, Manchester, Yorkshire, Preston, Northampton, Mansfield, Portsmouth, Chichester, Winchester, Torquay, Folkestone and Newcastle. The buses will be manufactured in the UK by Alexander Dennis.
These buses will feature Euro VI engines, which are described as having significantly cleaner engines. Stagecoach said it will be able to remove older buses from its fleet, which will benefit local air quality.
