The new 10.8m bus is used on a contract with a shipping line to shuttle foot passengers on and off cross-channel ferries at the port of Dover.
Thanks to its ferry lift function, the bus navigates ramps with ease while offering significant passenger capacity including seating for up to 40. Fully fitted with accessible information including an audio-visual display and announcement system as well as an induction hearing loop, the bus can be used flexibly on Crosskeys’ registered local bus routes if needed.
Crosskeys Coaches Managing Director Alan Johnson said: “The Alexander Dennis Enviro200 is perfect for this ferry shuttle contract, with a spacious interior that only has modest steps towards the rear, allowing passengers to spread across the bus easily. We expect it will be a reliable and economic performer just like the three Enviro400 double deckers we operate already.”
Mark Taylor, Regional Sales Manager for Alexander Dennis, said: “We appreciate Alan Johnson choosing our product again. The new Enviro200 looks fantastic in Crosskeys Coaches’ distinctive orange and grey livery. Its use at the port of Dover is testament to the versatility of our single deck buses, which are easily deployed on shuttle services such as this one.”
