Newport Bus in South Wales runs a fleet of over 100 vehicles, including coaches with on-board toilet facilities. Colin Thomas, Project Manager for Newport Bus, explains: “Previously we had been driving our coaches an 80-mile round trip to empty their waste at another coach depot, as it was the closest and safest way to dispose of it.
Loyalty Connections coach company is based in Margate and currently operates over 20 coaches and mini busses. The fleet team had been driving the coaches to Heathrow Airport to empty the toilet waste – a 200-mile round trip of dead mileage and additional driver’s wages. The company then moved premises and decided to take action to empty toilet waste on-site.
At a train maintenance depot it’s not always possible to empty the carriages of sanitation waste using the stationary CT pumps. Low temperatures in winter can cause the pumps outdoors to freeze, and at times the carriages need to be emptied without being moved. Northern Rail’s Heaton depot in Newcastle needed a way of cleaning the carriages in a way that is flexible to the situation at hand.
