William Graham (Shadow Minister for Local Government and Conservative AM for South Wales East) speaking at the launch of the new ‘Enviro 200’ buses for Stagecoach Route 26 said:
“This investment to enhance the No 26 service route from Blackwood to Cardiff clearly demonstrates Stagecoach’s commitment to extending public transport to all members of our communities and providing environmentally friendly travel”.
“The ‘Enviro 200’ provides step-free entrances, allowing customers to roll on wheelchairs, buggies and shopping trolleys into a dedicated access area. It also has the very latest clean engine technology; reducing carbon emissions and environmental impact”.
“The positive response from the public is reflected in the increased passenger numbers, notably on the recently enhanced X24 route; which has seen a 10% increase in passenger numbers”.
“Welsh Conservatives are committed to retaining the current free bus pass provision”.
