Warner Bros. Studio Tour London has announced it is switching to a new zero emission electric bus service. The buses replace an existing route that operates between the Studio Tour in Leavesden and Watford Junction train station. The move to e-buses means more than 264 tonnes of CO2 a year will be saved from entering the atmosphere, according to the attraction.
Geoff Spooner, SVP and general manager of Warner Bros. Studio Tour London says: ‘’We’re delighted to have made the move to fully electric shuttle buses for our visitors and staff at the Studio Tour as part of our commitment to sustainability. The electric buses will be free for all visitors with a valid Studio Tour ticket for the day of travel.’’
National Express Transport Solutions is partnering with EV fleet and battery storage specialist, Zenobē to operate a fully electric fleet of buses for the shuttle service. Tony Lawman, Managing Director, from National Express Transport Solutions said, “Buses are already one of the cleanest ways to travel so existing and new passengers can relax knowing that they are doing their bit for the planet if they leave the car at home and travel on this service.
“This partnership demonstrates our leadership in sustainable transport and is another step to achieving our commitment for our bus fleet to be solely zero emission by 2030.’’
Now celebrating its 10th year of welcoming visitors, Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter opened its doors on 31 March 2012. The unique attraction offers visitors the ultimate chance to get up close to authentic sets, discover the magic behind spellbinding special effects and explore the behind-the-scenes secrets of the Harry Potter film series. Visitors can explore the original Great Hall, step into the Forbidden Forest and discover Gringotts Wizarding Bank all before marvelling at the breath-taking miniature scale model of Hogwarts castle.
