New Gas Buses For Anglian

Yesterday saw the Department for Transport announce the successful bids under round three of the Government's Green Bus Fund. The aim of the fund is to reduce fuel emission levels by encouraging bus operators and local councils to use more eco-friendly vehicles.

Of the £3 million to be spent in the East of England, an offer of £624,000 has been secured by Anglian Bus of Beccles for 13 new gas powered single deck buses for use in Suffolk and Norfolk. It is understood that the vehicles will be MAN EcoCity buses similar to the vehicle loaned by Anglian towards the end of last year.
