There's a lot more to the new network than just renumbering existing routes, however. Regional buses will continue like today,” says a spokesperson. Fewer travellers must take a detour through the center of Trondheim. “The new public transport system becomes flexible, with buses running more often and accommodating more passengers. It's expected that 30,000 more people will live in the city by 2030. Why the change?īosses at AtB, the city's transport authority, claim say that Trondheim is growing. The concept is based in part on the success of Belfast's Glider system of metrobuses. A fleet of new metro buses will serve the three routes, which are designed to be as effective as a train or light rail route. Three new rapid transit bus routes provide the backbone of the network. Here's everything you need to know.Īfter years of planning and months of roadworks, Trondheim's brand new bus system is finally ready. New Metrobus M1452 is seen with former Greater Manchester Fleetline 7380 in February 1988.From 3 August 2019, the entire bus network in Trondheim changes with new buses, stops and routes. All operated in Manchester orange and brown and didn't carry any fleetnumbers for their stay in Harrow.

They lasted as long as the operation of the tender, just over three years, until January 1991, when they were returned to the lessor.ĭue to delays at MCW, the Metrobuses were late arriving for commencement of services and 25 elderly Daimler Fleetlines were taken on short term loan from the Anston dealer, Kirkby Central, who had been tasked with disposing of nearly 500 buses from the Greater Manchester PTE fleet at deregulation. They were painted in the red and pale cream Harrow Buses livery, and operated from Harrow Weald on routes 114 and 140. M1452-1480 were all single doorway, front staircase MkIIs, with small "provincial" destination screens. Leased buses were one of the methods used to drive down costs, and amongst vehicles drafted from the main LBL fleet, Harrow Buses in November 1987 leased 29 MkII Metrobuses.


Harrow Buses was a low-cost unit set up by London Buses to compete in the tendering process.
