🇮🇹🚍 Arriva Group has agreed to acquire an 80% stake in La Linea SpA, a private operator in Italy’s #Veneto region, in a move that will more than double its regional market share. The deal includes the purchase of shuttle provider Martinibus and three depots in #Mestre. La Linea runs 62 buses plus subcontracted services, carries around 60 million passengers annually and employs 280 staff. Arriva said the acquisition strengthens its #Italian presence and supports expansion, particularly in Venice, while enabling more efficient, integrated services. About 40% of La Linea’s fleet is already zero-emission, with plans to electrify the rest, aligning with Arriva’s wider #European strategy to invest in sustainable #transport and encourage a shift from private cars.

🏴 New community orchards have been planted at several #ScotRail stations as part of a sustainability initiative. In partnership with Thatchers Cider, apple trees have been introduced at Cardross, Dumfries and Aberdour to improve station environments and support wildlife. The project forms part of the wider Thatchers Community Orchard scheme, now in its sixth year, which has donated more than 2,000 trees across the #UK. Varieties including Bramley, Dabinett and Katy were selected for resilience and low maintenance. The collaboration aims to create greener, more welcoming spaces while contributing to #biodiversity goals. ScotRail said the initiative reflects its commitment to communities, while Thatchers highlighted the benefits of sharing orchard spaces beyond traditional locations.

🇮🇪🚍💳 The National #Transport Authority (NTA) has introduced contactless payments on TFI Local Link #Galway services in #Ireland, allowing passengers to pay using debit or credit cards, as well as mobile options such as #Apple Pay and #Google Pay. The move aims to make travel quicker and more convenient, particularly for single journeys.
Galway is the seventh Local Link office to adopt the system, bringing the national rollout close to its halfway point following earlier pilots and launches in other regions. The expansion reflects positive passenger feedback and a broader effort to modernise fare systems across rural and regional transport.
Contactless payments currently apply to single fares only. Leap cards, cash and Free #Travel Cards remain valid, while daily and weekly tickets are still available online or via the TFI Leap app.

🇩🇪🚍⚡️💻 MAN Truck & Bus, with ADASTEC, has automated an electric Lion’s City 12E bus under Munich’s MINGA project. The vehicle uses an Automated Driving System with LiDAR, radar, cameras and GNSS, enabling #autonomous functions including stopping at bus stops. Early tests are underway at MAN’s facilities to refine performance and gather operational data.
From autumn 2026, #Munich #Transport Company (MVG) plans public road trials, initially without passengers, followed by a closed-user pilot. A safety driver will remain on board. The aim is to assess real-world performance and collect feedback.
The MINGA project involves 16 partners and is backed by €13m in federal funding to 2027 in #Germany. MAN and ADASTEC aim to advance SAE Level 4 autonomous bus #technology to address driver shortages, improve efficiency and safety, and support zero-emission urban transport. Findings will inform future vehicle development.

#Transport for #London Freedom of Information release:
#TfL has responded to a Freedom of Information request on comparative #hydrogen and electric bus performance. TfL said it does not hold a Life Cycle Cost Analysis comparing hydrogen fuel cell and battery electric buses for high-frequency routes, as no such study has been completed. However, it provided 2023 data on hydrogen consumption for its double-decker fleet, showing monthly usage ranging from 6.24 to 7.78 kg per 100km. The lowest consumption occurred in February, while the highest was recorded in June. The data indicates higher fuel use during summer months compared with winter. TfL also confirmed that 50% of capital funding for hydrogen infrastructure comes from external grants, with the remainder funded through its core budget.

🇪🇺 The #European Commission has unveiled “AccelerateEU”, a package of short- and long-term measures to shield households and #businesses from rising #fossil fuel costs and reduce reliance on imports. Triggered by higher #energy prices linked to the Middle East crisis, the #EU has spent an extra €24 billion on imports without increased supply. The plan focuses on coordinated action among Member States, including fuel storage and emergency measures, alongside the creation of a Fuel Observatory to monitor supply. It proposes targeted, temporary support such as energy vouchers and tax relief for vulnerable groups and industries. Structural steps include accelerating electrification, expanding renewable energy, strengthening power grids and boosting investment, including private finance. The strategy aims to improve energy security, affordability and resilience by shifting towards clean, domestically produced energy.

Greater #London Authority Freedom of Information release:
An Environmental Information Regulations request (MGLA110326-5851), responded to on 9 April 2026, sought communications from 1 January 2025 involving the Mayor of London or Deputy Mayor for #Transport containing specific references to the New Routemaster. The GLA identified relevant material including emails and meeting minutes. These covered the #TfL Annual Report, working group discussions noting the buses may be less desirable due to not being zero-emission and lacking newer safety features, and briefing documents on congestion charging. Additional correspondence included a detailed public submission arguing there is strong demand for electric New Routemasters, citing consultation responses and customer feedback. Other records noted the fleet size, contractual constraints on redeployment, and modifications such as retrofitted opening windows to address overheating.

Clippings from T#rains, Omnibuses, and Trams (TOT, Vol. 11, No. 135, Jan. 1933) and Pennyfare (Vol. 2, No. 1, Jan. 1935)
In July 1907, #London Electrobus Co., Ltd introduced 34-seat, 40 h.p. battery buses. Within nine months they covered 93,482 miles and carried nearly one million passengers.
Supporters such as Mr Paul Taylor hailed the Electrobus as a quiet alternative that might “abolish petroleum from the streets,” noting quicker acceleration than petrol #buses. However, batteries were costly and performance limited to about 12 m.p.h. By 1910, it disappeared petrol buses dominant.
By 1933, A.V.M. noted renewed interest in electric traction. Trolleybuses were successful but restricted by overhead wires and fixed routes. Advances such as the Edison and #Irish Drumm batteries, and cheaper electricity from the National Grid, encouraged revival.
A future “battery bus” was envisaged, combining petrol flexibility with electric silence and cleanliness, making engineers “ten a penny.”

An eight-week public #consultation has been launched across #York and North #Yorkshire to gather views on plans for a #greener, more resilient #economy. Feedback from residents, businesses and organisations will shape the region’s #Strategy for a Sustainable Future, aimed at making it England’s first carbon-negative area by 2040. The draft plan focuses on cutting emissions, improving energy efficiency, supporting greener transport and promoting a circular economy. Leaders say the strategy also seeks to lower energy bills, improve air and water quality, and deliver warmer, more affordable homes. Developed with local authorities, national parks and stakeholders, the plan highlights protecting landscapes and boosting economic growth alongside environmental goals. The consultation runs until 10 June 2026.
