Scania Omnicity

Our newest generation of double deckers is our fleet of Scanias. We have 28 of these easy access low floor buses, all of which have Euro 4 engines, the current tight emission standard for new vehicles. At 4.34. these buses are taller than those they replaced, providing more headroom upstairs. As a result they are fitted with special "tree defenders” made of tubular steel to protect the front of their upper decks. Each of these buses cost £170,000 new.
