Stagecoach North East has joined with Scania to bring Britain’s first biogas- ‘decker to Sunderland.
The six-week trial, which started on Sunday (30 July), is on the Sunderland-Newcastle X24 and is a first for Stagecoach.
With the capacity to seat up to 76 passengers, Stagecoach North East believes will deliver lower running costs, alongside the environmental benefits of cleaner engines.
Stagecoach North East’s Engineering Director Gary Chisholm says: “With 40 single-decker gas buses in our fleet at Sunderland; this is a further demonstration of our green credentials.”
