The first of Birmingham City Council’s hydrogen-powered buses will begin to enter public service from Monday 6th December.

Operated by National Express West Midlands from the company’s Walsall garage, these Wright Streetdeck Hydroliner FCEV buses will be running on the well-used and frequent 51 service, which runs between Birmingham city centre and Walsall bus station, via Newtown, Perry Barr and Great Barr direct along the A34.

These buses are eventually intended to go on to service the new Sprint route which will begin operating in 2022 between Walsall and Solihull ahead of the start of the Commonwealth Games next year.
