Translink Press Release New lowfloor buses for Larne
New low-floor buses for Larne
19 December 2006
Larne is the recipient of three new, low-floor single deck buses which have been added to the fleet as part of Translink’s overall order of 110 new vehicles.
The modern new buses, representing an investment of almost £14million, form part of Translink’s drive to offer improved levels of service and quality for all passengers.
The new vehicles are fully accessible and feature enhanced heating systems, double-glazing, a manual ramp for wheelchair and pushchair access and a six-camera CCTV system for passenger and driver security. Branded with fresh new, light blue Ulsterbus livery, the vehicles will operate on urban and rural routes in the Larne area.
Sam Todd, Translink District Manager for Larne said:
“We are delighted to be able to provide these new vehicles for our customers in Larne. We have already taken delivery of 350 new buses over the last 2 years so these additional vehicles are great news for our passengers. Modern, quality buses really make a difference to any journey and the new vehicles also significantly reduce the average bus fleet age. In conjunction with ongoing changes and innovations within Ulsterbus operations they will play a key role in delivering the challenging growth targets set out in the Regional Transportation Strategy,” he said.
Ends.
