Green Bus Funding Round 4

[winston]

NXC will not be getting any new Hyrbids in 2014 unless they buy them outright,

The majority of the funding has again gone to London (94 buses - 2 bids) & Manchester (51 buses - 3 bids)

What about the remainder of £20 million budget?

What about the remainder of £20 million budget?

Well spotted, never clocked that, since found this:

'This is the 4th round of the Green Bus Fund and was launched with a budget of £20 million. A further announcement on spending the remainder of the budget will be made in due course'

NXC may still have a chance of get some Hybrids then, First Group have only been awarded funding for 11 x Hybrid buses to date & Arriva / Go-Ahead Group don't feature as yet either

Does anyone have any ideas what Stagecoach Manchester may be using the 38 x Hybrid double deckers on?

No, couldn't remember the total figure off the top of my head, all other announcements have included the full award of funding.....

I was about to post that quote either, thought you knew.

Anyway, TfGM should've invested on the roads than green buses.
