MTBP (Chris Nelson) - York Bus Photos
YT13YUK 68501 First Bristol / West of England AlexanderDennis Enviro300 Enviro300NG 300 NG N 270 UB N270 eco green demo bus
The first gas-powered demonstrator bus to be built by ADL and Scania, complete with a roof pod designed by Ray Stenning, Scania N270UB Alexander Dennis Enviro 300NG YT13 YUK has been doing the rounds with a few companies (the usual suspects) including Cardiff, Newport, Nottingham, Anglianbus, and most recently in Bristol with Firstgroup (the trial is to last 6 months, I am led to believe). Fuelled by Compressed Natural Bio Gas, which can come from sources such as food waste and human waste, the vinyl wrap for Bristol has played on this with images of people disposing leftover food on the offside and people going to the toilet displayed on the nearside, which has given this vehicle the nickname of the 'poo bus' (despite it's 'proper' name being the biobus) and has seen it being used in Bristol on the number 2 service.... This photo is one of a set showing it at Big Bus Day in Hull, whereby EYMS has use of it for a week before it returns south; photos include nearside and offside vinyls detail (including where bits are peeling off!), front detail, back detail including a look inside the pod towards the gas storage tanks, wheel detail (every single wheel nut has the Scania name on it), driving cab and interior passenger saloon (the leather seats are the same type as is on SN62DNJ Enviro 350H Hybrid which was trialled in York: www.flickr.com/search/?user_id=10110677%40N07&sort=da... ), and of course external views with the destination in operation - including a test display which I set up for the photos and then took off afterward.
Companies involved with its trial in Bristol include Wessex Water, CNG Services Ltd, Grontmij, Roadgas, and Trant, whilst the system itself is from GenEco Sustainable Solutions.
