Council Invests £16m In Hydrogen Buses

The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on the BBC.

This is the sub-heading.

There are now 34 hydrogen buses on the streets of Surrey, the council has announced.

These two paragraphs add more details.

Surrey County Council (SCC) said it has invested £16m and partnered with Metrobus to provide greener commuting options.

The fleet is now made up of 23 single-deck buses and 11 double-deckers, the council said.

I wrote about a ride on one of these buses to Gatwick Airport in Sutton Station To Gatwick Airport By Hydrogen-Powered Bus.

From the comments in the article, by a Surrey County Council councillor, the council seems very pleased with their hydrogen buses.

  1. The drivers like them as well as they have plenty of oomph.

    • I noticed that, when I went from Sutton to Gatwick.

      Drivers like oomph!

      I remember asking two Sheffield tram drivers, how much they liked the new Stadler tram-trains and they smiled and said, they were much better on Sheffield’s hills as they had more power.

      Judging by what the BBC said, the range is better than a battery vehicle.
