University of Hertfordshire - Bus fleet expands to 80

The bus company owned by the University of Hertfordshire, Uno, is to take over the St Albans operation of a major Midlands bus company. Uno has acquired 22 buses from Centrebus, thereby expanding its fleet to 80. The original architect of the university's participation in bus travel, secretary and registrar Philip Waters, said: "Many university students and staff live in and around St Albans so the university takes travel planning issues very seriously. There are clear possibilities from this proposal to positively influence travel patterns across the whole central Hertfordshire area."
