Salisbury Reds are hosting an event in Salisbury Market Place this Friday to celebrate the launch of 30 brand new electric buses.
From midday, the Salisbury Reds team will be in the Market Place welcoming visitors and showcasing some of the new electric buses. This will be a great opportunity to step on board, explore the vehicles, and see first-hand what makes these buses such an exciting step forward for public transport in the city.
Team members will also be on hand throughout the day to answer any questions and talk about how electric buses work, the benefits they bring to the environment, and what they mean for the future of travel across the network.
During the event, Salisbury Reds will also be announcing the winners of their school's poetry competition, where some of the winning poems will be on display. Plus, they will be unveiling the winning bus rear, which has been designed by a very talented young artist.
To add to the celebrations, there will be live music from ELO Again, who will be performing in Market Place from 1.30 pm. Their set will help create a fantastic atmosphere as they perform the biggest hits of ELO, including Mr Blue Sky.
