Arriva London Wrightbus StreetDeck Electroliner

Arriva now has more than 100 Wrightbus StreetDeck Electroliner battery-electric double-deckers in service or on order after completion of a deal for 34 further examples to be supplied to Arriva London in 2024.

Edmonton depot will be home for those vehicles, which are for use on Transport for London (TfL) route 279. When delivered, Arriva London will have over 110 battery-electrics across four depots. It was recently awarded several new route contracts by TfL that call for further deliveries of such buses.

In the meantime, Wrightbus has this year delivered 50 StreetDeck Electroliners to Arriva London that were ordered previously. 24 others are in the process of being supplied to Arriva Midlands in Leicester.

The latter buses are part-funded by a successful bid by Leicester City Council to the fast track mechanism of phase one of the Zero Emission Bus Regional Areas scheme in England. They are also the first low-height StreetDeck Electroliners built by Wrightbus.

Speaking about the latest order, Arriva UK Bus Operations Director and Arriva London Managing Director Marcos Hart says: “We are delighted to once again be partnering with Wrightbus to welcome a further 34 zero-emission vehicles into our growing electric operation.

“In addition to enhancing the onboard experience for our passengers, this investment is a further demonstration of our commitment to delivering a sustainable and environmentally-friendly bus network, while supporting TfL’s long-term vision for London.”

Wrightbus recently introduced revised, ‘softer’ frontal aspects to both the StreetDeck and GB Kite zero-emission models to suit London requirements. Adds CEO Jean-Marc Gales: “Our continued partnership with Arriva is hugely significant in the drive to zero-emission public transport.

“Seeing the impact our fleet is having on communities is incredibly gratifying and we must continue to strengthen the case for further support for zero-emission transport to ensure that net-zero targets are met.

“We are consistently at the forefront of zero- and low-emission travel, and we look forward to progressing future orders with bus operators across the globe. We cannot wait to see even more of our buses in operation, which will help passengers to enjoy comfortable and cleaner transport.”

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."
