#Nottingham City Transport is set to upgrade its long-distance Pathfinder route with six new Wrightbus StreetDeck Ultroliner double-deckers. NCT representatives recently visited the Wrightbus factory in #Ballymena, Northern #Ireland to view the buses, which will operate between Nottingham, Burton Joyce, Lowdham and Southwell. Built to NCT’s high specification, they feature free Wi-Fi, USB charging, improved seating, space for two wheelchairs, a table on the upper deck and enhanced accessibility, including hearing loops and clearer next-stop displays. The ULEB-accredited vehicles meet stricter emission standards than the 2014 models they replace, cutting NOx emissions by 80% and reducing particulates. NCT said the cleaner, quieter buses would deliver a better passenger experience. Wrightbus, founded in 1946, employs 2,300 people. The manufacturer said the new models offer low noise and emissions where full zero-emission operation is not yet practical.
