The council-owned company plans to introduce 115 new buses to its fleet after receiving £20m
Blackpool Transport is facing legal action over its order for new zero-emission buses as part of a Government-backed scheme.
A report by the Sunday Times says one of the aim of the fund was to support ‘buy British’ but half the buses benefiting from the fund are being produced overseas including in China. Jo Bamford, owner of Northern Ireland bus manufacturer Wrightbus, is reported to have launched a legal battle with Blackpool Transport over the issue.
The council has also lent Blackpool Transport £8m from its Business Loans fund to upgrade the Rigby Road depot with the infrastructure required for electric buses including charging points.
