Blackpool Transport have placed an order for 10 Alexander Dennis Enviro 400 City buses. The new buses will be similar to the Enviro 400 City models that are currently in service with Arriva London, and their 72 seat bodies will feature Wi-Fi, E-leather seating, wood effect flooring and USB charging points, as well as having a glazed staircase. The new vehicles will be painted in the same grey and yellow colour scheme carried by the Palladium branded Mercedes Citaros, and will be used to replace existing buses on the service 9 from Blackpool to Cleveleys. See http://www.alexander-dennis.com/news/blackpool-sets-the-pace-with-2m-enviro400-city-bus-deal/ for the official press announcement from Alexander Dennis Limited.
