Skills takes its first Alexander Dennis single-deckers
Alexander Dennis has delivered two Enviro200 single-deckers to Skills Motor Coaches of Nottingham.
The new Enviro200s are the first Alexander Dennis single-deckers bought by the family-owned business. Each 10.8m long bus seats up to 40 passengers. They join six Enviro400 double-deckers delivered earlier this year.
Skills will use its new Alexander Dennis buses when it takes over operation of Medilink in September, having been awarded the contract by Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust. The new Medilink service will run every 15 minutes on a loop between Queens Drive Park and Ride, Queen’s Medical Centre, Wilkinson Street and City Hospital. The Enviro400 will provide additional capacity during peak hours, while the Enviro200 enable the company to match vehicle size to demand at quieter times.
