Irizar i8 integral confirmed by Eavesway Travel
SHARE

Irizar UK has secured conquest business with Ashton-in-Makerfield operator Eavesway Travel, which has placed an order with the dealership for an Irizar i8 integral that will be delivered in 2025.

It will be a 14.1m tri-axle example that carries 38 passengers. Conversion by AD Coach Systems will be carried out before entering service to equip the coach for sports team transport and corporate charter work. The seats will be trimmed in Eavesway’s customary cream leather.

The order was confirmed at Euro Bus Expo and the coach will be equipped with a camera monitoring system in place of traditional gullwing mirrors. It is the first Irizar integral coach ordered by Eavesway, although, the operator has extensive experience of the DAF/ZF driveline in other vehicles.

Speaking about the purchase, Managing Director Mike Eaves (pictured, second from left) says: “We are delighted to confirm the order of the first Irizar vehicle to join the VIP section of our fleet, and we are 100% confident that it will be an exceptional addition.

“From our first contact with Irizar UK, we have been impressed with the welcome, enthusiasm and belief in the quality of the Irizar product, which matches both our own high expectations and those of our clients.”

Irizar UK says that the latest variants of its integral coaches further reduce fuel consumption by up to 5%. The i8 will come with an updated driver’s area including a new dashboard with an option to select night mode for driving.

Adds Irizar UK Area Sales Manager Stuart Smithson (pictured, right): “We are delighted to welcome Mike and the entire Eavesway team to the Irizar family.

“As a provider of luxury travel services, we are confident that the i8 will dovetail into the Eavesway fleet well and will offer a high level of comfort and design to its passengers.”

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."
