New electric bus service for hospitals launched

Go Travel Solutions are a Leicester-based sustainable transport consultancy with a track record of supporting businesses, councils, and hospitals to enable their staff and visitors to choose healthier and more environmentally friendly transport options.

We are working closely with UHL to implement their Travel Plan, which will provide a greater travel choice for all hospital users.

This will help to cut reliance on private vehicles leading to a reduced demand for car park space, improved local traffic flow, and a cleaner and safer environment for everyone.

A NEW fully electric bus service is being launched to provide sustainable transport on routes connecting Leicester’s three main hospitals.

The Hospital Hopper service is having a complete upgrade, including replacing the current diesel vehicles with a fleet of fully electric buses, with features such as free USB chargers, passenger information screens and a new eye-catching livery.

The electric bus service is being launched in partnership with the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust (UHL), and bus operator Centrebus.
