Lochs Motor Transport, based in Leurbost on the Isle of Lewis, has added a further Alexander Dennis Enviro400 double-deck to its cruise ship transfer fleet.
It follows others delivered in 2024 and 2025 and will be used on a shuttle service between a new terminal on Stornoway and the town centre, and school and private hire duties at other times. At 11.5m in length, the new arrival has 85 high-backed seats.
The earlier Enviro400 buses delivered to Lochs Motor Transport by Alexander Dennis were the first double-decks to operate on Lewis and Harris in the Outer Hebrides. In 2024, the port of Stornoway received 57,000 cruise ship passengers.
Speaking about the fleet’s success, Director Roddy MacDonald says: “Our double-deck Enviro400 buses have performed brilliantly on the Stornoway shuttle service, forming a vital part of the island experience for our cruise visitors, with a comfortable ride and panoramic views.
“The buses are easy to operate and maintain, and we have been especially happy with the service from Alexander Dennis, both before delivery and afterwards. We are pleased to upgrade out fleet with another of these lovely vehicles.”
Adds the manufacturer’s Head of Retail Sales Charlie Miller: “I am delighted to do more business with Lochs Motor Transport.
“Roddy and the team have been very supportive to myself and Alexander Dennis throughout the years. It is a high-quality operator; having it return to buy our fantastic Enviro400 bus again means a lot to us, and says a lot about the product.”
