Devon bus boss explains how electric vehicles will revolutionise the system
‘Roadworks, inflation and Brexit’ are among the reasons it’s been difficult to get many of Devon’s buses back on track. That’s according to the top executive at Stagecoach South West.
In the latest edition of Devoncast from Radio Exe and the Local Democracy Reporting Service, Peter Knight, the company’s managing director is the main guest. Mr Knight explains how reliability is often passengers’ greatest concern, that roadworks are the blight of his working life, and how a huge public investment in electric buses is on the way.
Also in this edition, why the Dartmoor Hill Pony Association wants more cash for farmers and landowners to prevent a further decline in the moor’s iconic animal. When moors are made for grazing cattle, but not ponies, farmers favour cows.
