Low emission buses for capital

Low-emission buses are being introduced for journeys along one of Scotland’s most polluted streets.

Bus operator Lothian is to use a fleet of 30 new vehicles on the route through St John’s Road in Edinburgh, an air quality management zone.

The Euro 6 Volvo doubledeckers will operate on Service 26, which runs between the west of the capital and East Lothian.

All buses on the route will be low emission by the end of 2018.
