SHARE

Plants Luxury Travel of Cheadle in Staffordshire has added a further minicoach from EVM UK in a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter with a coachbuilt Grand Tourer body.

It is a 19-seater and built on the 519CDi extra-long wheelbase chassis. A nine-speed 9G-Tronic automatic gearbox is fitted and exterior finish is in Plants’ customary selenite grey.

Entry is via a Masats plug door. At the rear is a vertically lifting powered boot opening that operates via a dash switch or a button inside the 2.8 cubic metre storage area. Twin side lockers provide further luggage space.

A panoramic windscreen has twin sun blinds. Dash air-conditioning is complemented by a 15.5kW roof-mounted unit from Webasto that vents via passenger service units on the undersides of the luggage racks, and convector perimeter heaters.

Seats are finished in real leather with diamond stitching. Recline, three-point belts, aisle-side folding armrests, drop-down tables and magazine nets are part of the specification, along with wood-effect flooring.

A public address system is fitted as well as a seven-inch multimedia unit with touch-screen activation. It incorporates a feed from the reversing camera and has a USB input. A front-mounted Indel fridge completes the package.

andy burnham tfgm £15.6 billion (1) The funding announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves today (4 June) has been allocated to several combined mayoral authorities to use on rail, tram, road and bus infrastructure. Transport for Greater Manchester revealed today that part of the £2.5 billion it will receive will go towards making the Bee Network fully battery-electric by 2030. An as-yet undecided portion of that will support a planned investment in 1,000 new zero-emission buses over that period, the mayoral authority said. That is part of plans to build the UK's "first fully integrated, zero-emission public transport system", with trams and trains also set to benefit. Liverpool City Region's already announced BRT system is among the projects to which its £1.6 billion will be allocated. Under those plans - due for realisation by 2028 - a high-speed network will be served by articulated buses which are modelled on the 'Glider' in Belfast. It is due to link Liverpool city centre with John Lennon Airport, and Liverpool FC and Everton FC's respective stadia along three routes. Although the model of bus has not been confirmed, a Van Hool Exqui.City on loan from Belfast was last year used as a demonstrator. That 18m vehicle can accommodate around 30% more passengers than a typical bus and has three sets of double doors. The funding will also go towards buses elsewhere in the city as the region heads towards franchising services by 2027. Liverpool Mayor Steve Rotheram with a 'Glider' which was on loan from Belfast last year - an example of the sort of bus which could serve the new BRT Bus services in the East Midlands region will be boosted by the funding, thanks to the £2 billion handed to it today by the government. Some of that allocation will be used for a rapid transit network on the Trent Arc between Nottingham and Derby. Between the two cities, the Freeport, Infinity Park Investment Zone and Ratcliffe-on-Soar will also benefit from the improved bus services. South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority's newly announced commitment towards bus franchising has been boosted by £350 million in funding as part of that region's allocation. The funding for West Yorkshire will help build new bus stations in Bradford and Wakefield. Likewise, the Tees Valley Mayoral Authority will put its sum towards a new £15 million bus station in Middlesbrough. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander says: "Today marks a watershed moment on our journey to improving transport across the North and Midlands – opening up access to jobs, growing the economy and driving up quality of life as we deliver our Plan for Change. "For too long, people in the North and Midlands have been locked out of the investment they deserve. With £15.6bn of government investment, we’re giving local leaders the means to drive cities, towns and communities forward, investing in Britain’s renewal so you and your family are better off."
