http://countocram.com/2024/03/07/ti5x0rr Stagecoach and the University of Chichester have unveiled a new fleet of Alexander Dennis Enviro400s to replace the eight-year-old vehicles currently in service. Each bus is fitted with USB charging ports, WiFi, ADL smartseats and ergonomic headrests, plus audio-visual announcement screens. They will be used on services between the University’s two campuses on weekdays and on the Coastliner 700 route from Bognor Regis to Portsmouth at weekends.

University Director of Estates, John Kingdom, said: “Environmental sustainability has been adopted into the very heart of our culture – not only in the way students study but how they travel. Students are more conscious of living sustainable lifestyles than ever before, so we’re delighted that we now operate one of the most environmentally-friendly bus services on the south coast. Our students ride the inter-campus buses for free which helps to reduce the number of cars on our roads and cuts emissions. We’ve had a successful partnership with Stagecoach for many years so we are really pleased to continue that into the next decade.”

The new buses represent a real enhancement in travel experience, with the Euro VI engines which reduce NOx by 80% and particulates by 50%. Looking after the environment is a responsibility we all share and we see this as a positive step forward and a significant contribution towards improving air quality – reducing our environmental impact and hopefully encouraging more customers to ‘Switch to Bus’ and opt for our greener, smarter travel option.”
