Hydrogen double decker First Buses in Aberdeen have been taken off the road over a 'technical issue.'
The company says the vehicles are being suspended for now while the problem is fully investigated.
Replacement low emission buses are being brought in from Glasgow so people can expect minimal disruption to their journeys.
A First Bus spokesperson said:
“We can confirm an issue has been identified with the 15 hydrogen buses and the vehicles have been taken off service until this technical issue can be better understood .
“To minimise the impact of this temporary vehicle withdrawal, we have reallocated low emission Euro VI buses from our Glasgow fleet and consequently we don’t anticipate any problems for customers planning a journey on our services.”
