Today, I attended Stagecoach's launch of their new electric-hybrid buses which started running in Oxford today. It promises to be an exciting prospect for bus travel in the future. You can read the full story here. The event was held at Oxford Castle (see photo left).We were also taken on a short trip around the city centre so that we could experience travelling in these new double deckers which hold 78 passengers. At the moment, there are no plans to run the buses on the more rural routes like ours, but we have been promised some newer buses shortly which will replace some of the older stock used here.
It is good to see that we have now seen the roll out of Real Time Information (the electronic displays showing at some of our bus stops in Grove). Anything which makes travelling by bus a more user-friendly experience has to be welcome.
