  2. Greater #London Authority Freedom of Information release:
    The GLA has disclosed correspondence between Mayor Sadiq Khan and bus manufacturers under the #Environmental Information Regulations. The material includes letters from Wrightbus and Alexander Dennis in 2025 concerning #UK bus #manufacturing and zero-emission fleets. Wrightbus urged continued support for domestic producers, highlighting its #Ballymena base, growth to nearly 2,400 staff and its hydrogen and electric buses operating in London. The Mayor replied that investment in zero-emission #buses benefits jobs across the UK and welcomed Wrightbus’s role in expanding London’s fleet.

    Alexander Dennis provided a consultation update on proposals to consolidate UK operations in Scarborough, putting up to 400 jobs at risk in #Scotland. It called for fresh orders, potential furlough support and procurement reforms to strengthen UK manufacturing.

  4. #Nottingham City Transport is set to upgrade its long-distance Pathfinder route with six new Wrightbus StreetDeck Ultroliner double-deckers. NCT representatives recently visited the Wrightbus factory in #Ballymena, Northern #Ireland to view the buses, which will operate between Nottingham, Burton Joyce, Lowdham and Southwell. Built to NCT’s high specification, they feature free Wi-Fi, USB charging, improved seating, space for two wheelchairs, a table on the upper deck and enhanced accessibility, including hearing loops and clearer next-stop displays. The ULEB-accredited vehicles meet stricter emission standards than the 2014 models they replace, cutting NOx emissions by 80% and reducing particulates. NCT said the cleaner, quieter buses would deliver a better passenger experience. Wrightbus, founded in 1946, employs 2,300 people. The manufacturer said the new models offer low noise and emissions where full zero-emission operation is not yet practical.

  5. Took my Icelandic Sheep Skin rug to see Iceland women's football team play Northern Ireland, I was going by motorcycle and just thought it would be nice to sit on or have if I broke down, it was excellent though the combination of the leathers and fur meant I wasn't that in the fashion of the rest of the fans but I had a world class seat cover #iceland #northernireland #nationscup #ballymena #motorbike #icelandicsheepskinrug #football

  7. The only ethnic group routinely causing problems is the White People.
    Lazy, entitled and selfish White People, who have no real culture, no real identity, so they burn things and wank into flags.
    That's not a culture, that's just barbarism
