Old news man Malarkey.
It's in the South West bus operations thread.
Thought you would have sniffed it out.

Isn't this what the Stagecoach gas buses are...?

There was a brief acknowledgement of this story on Radio Newcastle this morning.
I was going to post something about this but I forgot and Adam beat me to the punch. As it's 'old news', I'm rather glad I didn't.
But, back to the story, passengers can't complain if the service turns out to be, erm, shit.
Let the puns commence!

GNE could split the Coaster service again, and buy some for the number 2.

Deliberately or by mistake? lol
Didn't hear about it haha

The story says:
A single tank of the gas, which is produced using the typical annual waste of five people, is enough to power the vehicle for 190 miles.
So the annual waste of one person would move the bus 38 miles.
How much poo would be required to move a fleet of a thousand buses at 12 mph through a conurbation for 18 hours a day? 216 miles x 363 days = 78,408,000 miles. Divide by 38 miles per person = 2,063,3684 people's annual waste. Unfortunately, there's only 1.1 million people in Tyne and Wear.
In other words, to make Tyne and Wear's buses 100% poo-powered you'd need twice the amount of poo that the population can produce....
... unless we all swapped to a very high-fibre diet...
Somebody else care to check my maths...?

Would the bus go like shit off a shovel
The waste and gas I produce myself could send a Space Ship to the moon and back, I am master farter with loose guts a lot of the time [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND COLD SWEAT]
Would the exhaust fumes from such a bus smell like a shit or a fart???
I remember when Dalton Park was being built, for the grassy parts human waste was used as a fertiliser, for about 3 months Murton smelt like shit
...saying that it ain't much better now haha
