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."
