Co-op Plans to Run Battery-Powered Trains in Wiltshire and Somerset
A new co-operative, Go-op, plans to run battery-powered trains in Wiltshire and Somerset, converting former diesel or electric trains for its services. The co-operative, which recently formed as a co-operative, previously received permission to run diesel rail services in the two counties but was unable to secure the necessary funding. It has now said it wants to create charging infrastructure for its battery-powered trains and is exploring options for funding. The co-operative aims to reduce its carbon footprint and provide a more sustainable transportation option for passengers.
