Title: Bio-methane buses in Bristol Post by: Bmblbzzz on November 16, 2020, 22:42:08 While in the Centre of Bristol (the Fountains) today I noticed that six of the eight buses waiting or passing in the 30 seconds or so I was there, declared themselves to be gas powered. I knew there were some but didn't realise it was such a high proportion (I'm sure that was just chance). It turns out there are or will be 77 of them.
Quote As part of its ongoing commitment to improving air quality and tackling the Climate Emergency, First West of England is today launching its 77 new bio-methane powered gas bus scheme, including a major new gas filling station at Lawrence Hill depot. continues...From the start of January, the first ten of the new buses came into operation on the metrobus m3 service, drawing fuel from the existing gas station opened last year at the Parson Street premises of Bristol Community Transport but they will be using the brand-new gas fueling station at Lawrence Hill depot when it comes into use next week-end. The next 27 buses will take to the streets in East Bristol from next week, launching a brand new citylines east Bristol identity and replacing all city buses currently running along Church Road to St George and points east - routes 42 to 45. https://www.firstgroupplc.com/news-and-media/latest-news/2020/10-02-20b.aspx This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
