Lynton Day Centre in East Linton secures electric bus through Energy Savings Trust grant

By Eve

Lynton Day Centre in East Linton, Scotland, has taken delivery of a new electric bus funded by a grant from the Energy Savings Trust under its Plugged-In Communities Scheme 25/26. The vehicle will serve the centre's operations across a large rural area in and around East Linton and the Dunpender area.

Why it matters: The award demonstrates how grant schemes are enabling community organisations to electrify transport fleets in rural settings, potentially signalling further demand for charging infrastructure to support similar deployments in underserved areas.
