Biodiesel buses for park-and-ride

Park-and-ride and school buses operated by a firm in Gloucestershire are to run on biodiesel.

The decision forms part of the county council's commitment to becoming more environmentally-friendly.

The services are Arle Court in Cheltenham, St Oswalds and Waterwells in Gloucester.

John Doherty from operator Bennetts' said: "We have worked out that using biodiesel will save 35 tonnes of carbon a year going into the air."
