Edinburgh Coach Lines has taken delivery of its first new Alexander Dennis vehicle in the form of an 9.7m Enviro200 bus.
The addition seats up to 34 passengers using the manufacturer’s SmartSeat product, with three-point belts included. Radio and CD player units are also specified and the bus will be used on service 13 in Edinburgh, for which it is branded. That route is subsidised by the City Council and runs between Blackhall and Lochend via the city centre.
Speaking about the arrival, Edinburgh Coach Lines General Manager Katrina Scott says: “Our service 13 is an important link in Edinburgh’s transport network and its passengers benefit from a modern fleet that has now been further upgraded with this brand new Enviro200 from Alexander Dennis.
“It is the first of the type in our fleet after we were attracted by its versatility as well as the great economy offered by its low-emission driveline.”
Adds Alexander Dennis Retail Sales Director Charlie Miller: “The Enviro200 remains easy to maintain and operate, and when fitted with our SmartPack technology, its fuel economy is hard to beat.
“We greatly appreciate Edinburgh Coach Lines’ support of British bus manufacturing and we will continue to be at its side with our full range of AD24 aftermarket support.”
