A £3.8MILLION investment by Transdev in new upmarket buses has been hailed as ‘hugely significant’ for the region’s recovery beyond the Covid-19 pandemic. A fleet of 14 double-deck vehicles, built in Britain to Transdev’s all-new ‘Sky Class’ specification, entered service a month ago on the Witchway express between Burnley, Rawtenstall and Manchester. And despite the current Government restrictions on non-essential travel, East Lancashire’s leading politicians are optimistic that the investment will pay dividends when customers are able to return. Burnley MP Antony Higginbotham said: “I’m delighted to see this major investment by Transdev – local transport connections have such an important role to play in levelling up, across not only Burnley and Padiham but the whole county of Lancashire.
