Stagecoach orders Wright open-tops for Lakes

摘要

Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire has ordered the group's first new open-top double-deckers for the UK, for route 599 between Bowness and Grasmere in the Lake District, for delivery this summer. The company has told staff that it has been successful in bidding for the vehicles - seven Wright Gemini 3-bodied Volvo B5TLs - as part of the group's yet to be announced capital investment programme for 2017/18. Although it has bought Wright-bodied Volvo single-deckers for Cambridgeshire Busway services, these are the first Wright-bodied double-deckers it has ordered outside London and its first B5TLs.
