– with customers travelling more sustainably on its routes across the South of Scotland, linking with Carlisle, Moffat and Gatehouse of Fleet, plus day trips around the UK.
William Houston, managing director at Houston’s Coaches, said: “We’re truly proud to be able to say that we’re innovators who are not willing to let a lack of infrastructure stop us from achieving our sustainability goals. The transformation for our fleet in just one year has been great and we hope our work with ScottishPower inspires others to do the same.”
Mr Houston added: “We’re accelerating our sustainable journey with electric buses already having a positive impact within the first year, allowing our customers to conveniently travel more sustainably.
