New Mansfield bus depot poised to support electric fleet transition

Stagecoach Services Ltd is expected to receive planning approval from Mansfield District Council to redevelop its existing Sutton Road bus depot.

The proposal involves demolishing the current buildings and constructing a new facility equipped to support a fully electric fleet. Plans include a modern workshop, a dedicated bus wash system, and electric vehicle charging bays designed to service 24 new electric buses.

Council planning officers have recommended the project for approval, noting its role in advancing Mansfield’s transition toward cleaner public transport. The redevelopment represents a significant private-sector investment in the town’s transport infrastructure and is anticipated to sustain local employment while improving operational efficiency for the bus operator.

If approved, the project will replace outdated facilities with a streamlined, purpose-built site designed to meet the operational and environmental requirements of a modern bus fleet.
