Sizewell C Buses

One of the six Specialist Passenger Solutions StreetLites based at Lowestoft, intended to provide transport for the Sizewell C project, has appeared at First Great Yarmouth for possible servicing. Numbered 47805 in the First Eastern Counties fleet, SK17 HHA is pictured inside Caister Road depot by Roger Bellward.

It has been brought to my attention by Steve Blackburn that an article was released in September last year concerning the use of hydrogen-powered buses being trialled for the Sizewell C project. The Wrightbus double-deckers are to be part of a pilot scheme to see whether they would be suitable for transporting workers to and from the construction site. Delivery is expected sometime this year and will be among the first hydrogen buses to be based in Suffolk. If successful it could lead to a fleet of 150 being based in the county.

My thanks to Roger Bellward for the use of his photo and to Steve Blackburn for details of the article.
