New electric buses 'will help cut carbon emissions'

[Image from here is not available to guests]
The new Enviro200ev buses, the same model as shown here, will be used on two routes in Surrey

New electric buses will soon begin operating in Surrey in a bid to cut carbon emissions in the county.

The 13 electric buses are in the final stages of being built, with Surrey County Council stating that are to be in service next month.

Four will run on the 436 route between Woking and Weybridge, and the other nine will be used for the 461 route between Chertsey and Kingston.

Councillor Matt Furniss said: "I'm delighted that Surrey residents will benefit from these 13 new electric buses as we continue to invest in expanding our fleet of cleaner, greener vehicles."

The council expects the buses to save about 13,000 tonnes of carbon over their lifetime.

The authority said that it had also invested £9m in "bus priority measures" to ensure buses arrived on time, and £1.4m on improved information at bus stops.

The new electric buses will have Wi-Fi and charging points on board.

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.
