Greater Manchester has taken another step forward in driving a green revolution through the Bee Network with the first fully electric bus depot now complete in Tameside.
The depot in Ashton – one of just a few fully electric depots in the country – is now home to 83 Volvo BZL MCV Double Deck zero-tailpipe emission buses, making 14 routes fully electric.
The depot, which is operated by Metroline on behalf of TfGM, boasts 27 dual chargers allowing 54 electric buses to be charged at any one time.
