A fuel cell electric bus service will be launched at Gatwick.  

The service will be trialled by Metrobus on the company’s Fastway 100 service between Crawley, Gatwick Airport and Reigate.  During the trial, the double decker bus will operate alongside conventional buses on the route.  It will be refuelled at the Metrobus depot at Manor Royal Business Park. Metrobus expects to follow this with an order for 20 single deck fuel cell electric buses.  They aim to expand provision of zero emission journeys and improve local air quality.

A zero emission electric bus trial is already running on route 400 from Caterham to East Grinstead.  

Gatwick Airport has increased its financial support for local buses so that services can run during early mornings, evenings and weekends.
