Stagecoach in South Lancashire takes delivery of 23 new buses

02 Aug 2023

Stagecoach in Preston has taken delivery of the first seven vehicles (out of 23) to go out on the road this summer.  This investment is around £5.8 million for Route 125, Preston – Chorley – Bolton. 

The new buses, manufactured in the UK by Alexander Dennis, feature Euro VI engines, which are significantly cleaner, helping to cut carbon emissions by a further 402 carbon tonnes per year in the local area.

Matt Davies, Managing Director of Stagecoach MCSL said: “We are excited to get all 23 vehicles out on Route 125! Our 125 customers will see all the vehicles out in operation by the end of September, which means they will have an even more reliable journey and a smoother ride and know that they are travelling on one of the most environmentally friendly buses in the area. 

Operating from our Preston depot, our driving team are looking forward to getting behind the wheel and putting their recently recognised excellent GreenRoad Safety standards to use on the new buses.  Route 125 is a big part of our depot and the local community in Preston, Chorley and Bolton, so we will also carry out highly localised marketing throughout the year to get more people on board and connect communities.”
