¶¹ÄÌÊÓƵ’s New UNI¶¹ÄÌÊÓƵS Service

This week you may have seen some of our brand new ¶¹ÄÌÊÓƵ-branded buses. The entire UNI¶¹ÄÌÊÓƵS fleet – the official university bus service– will take to the roads from Monday 26 September to carry students, staff and members of the public to and from the university as well as in and around the local area. 

The new buses - known as UNI¶¹ÄÌÊÓƵSES - are part of our new 10 year partnership with morebus. The agreement, which also involves Arts University ¶¹ÄÌÊÓƵ took effect from 1 August, with the new buses in use for the start of the new academic year.

The shiny new fleet of 12 UK-built double decker Enviro 400 MMC low carbon emission buses are the most environmentally friendly buses ¶¹ÄÌÊÓƵ has commissioned to date.

The brand new Euro6 ADL Enviro400 Low Carbon Emission Buses are double deck vehicles, which have some of the most advanced technology fitted to reduce emissions and improve fuel economy.

The buses are also fitted with auto start/stop technology which automatically switches off the engine when the vehicle stops. This eliminates engine idling and will improve local air quality and reduce noise pollution particularly at busy bus stops.
