Electric Buses For Great Yarmouth

Earlier today Norfolk County announced a £13.8 million investment with First Bus to bring 24 new electric double-deck buses to Great Yarmouth and Norwich by the autumn of next year.



They will join the 76 electric buses already in use in Norwich with the Great Yarmouth share comprising ten new vehicles. They are intended for use on the service 8 between the James Paget Hospital in Gorleston and Caister's Marram Avenue. To cater for them Caister Road depot will be upgraded with electric vehicle infrastructure.

£8.9 million of the investment will come from First Bus with the remaining £4.9 million from Norfolk County Council's Bus Service Improvement Plan secured from central government.
