Blairgowrie bus boost with new Volvo E400s

Stagecoach has received four Volvo-based Enviro400s for use on a route serving Perth and Dundee via Blairgowrie.

The new buses represent an investment of around £1m and include an automatic low bridge alert system, leather seats and USB phone charging points at every seat. They are for use on route 57, which runs up to every 30 minutes Monday to Friday, and hourly at the weekend, between Perth, Burrelton, Coupar Angus, Blairgowrie, Alyth, Meigle, Newtyle and Dundee.
