Quote:The scheme, announced today by the Local Transport Minister, Norman Baker, will allow authorities to improve their current fleet of buses by retrofitting more efficient engines, exhaust after-treatments and hybrid or alternative fuel conversions. Each authority is able to bid for grants of up to £1 million to, which will be used to upgrade the technology used on routes where the air quality does not currently meet European standards.

(17 Sep 2013, 7:53 am)Liam Washington Street Shuttle 566 should today be out in service in its new green repaint.
(17 Sep 2013, 10:29 am)Liam Yep, displacing the older MPDs down the ranks as previously occured with Kingfisher MPDs.
566 is now back in Service at Washington seen on the M2 at 15.00 this afternoon.
(17 Sep 2013, 4:35 pm)Adam Malarkey Just with regards to the repaint of 566, Just looked at my fleet list and 562 is Branded NTL, So that could mean that 563-566 will go onto there, as it would keep it in Numerical Order.
