The company, which provides bus services across Burnley and Pendle, as well as other parts of Lancashire and Yorkshire, says its new buses will be built to a unique specification, as it seeks to build on the success of its routes serving thousands of people every day in cities, coast and countryside on both sides of the Pennines.

A total of 21 new buses – 13 single deck and eight double deck – are now on order from UK-based bus builders Alexander Dennis in Scarborough and Wright of Ballymena in Northern Ireland, demonstrating Transdev’s commitment to supporting jobs and innovation in Britain’s bus industry.

“We’ll reveal more of the details as we move closer to introducing these new buses in Lancashire and Yorkshire – but for now, we can certainly say they’ll be unique, and will build on the valued feedback we receive from our customers to help us attract many more people to discover the benefits of choosing the bus.

“Every one of these vehicles will also feature the very latest low-emission technology, helping to further reduce our carbon footprint while creating one of the greenest bus fleets in Britain.
