A new Stagecoach Gold service has been launched in Wiltshire on Sunday (18 February).
Stagecoach West have invested £2.5m in a fleet of 10 brand new buses “to provide a touch of luxury for customers” with leather seats with high backs, extra leg room and free wi-fi and USB charging points.
North Wiltshire MP James Gray (pictured right) praised the new service when he attended the unveiling of the new buses.
Stagecoach West Managing Director Rupert Cox says: “As a company we are committed to providing the best service we can for our customers and the new Stagecoach Gold buses are a major investment in the future of bus travel.
“Each of the 10 vehicles in the new fleet cost £250,000 and they have the latest engine technology which will reduce nitrogen oxide emissions and other particulates by 90% compared to the buses they are replacing.
“We are delighted to be providing more luxurious travel for our customers and we hope it will encourage more people to leave the car at home and take the Stagecoach Gold bus, helping the environment.”
The buses will be on Service 55 between Swindon and Chippenham.
