QUIRKY WORLD ... On the buses: Passengers get set for a poo-powered ride

ENGLAND: Dozens of “number two” buses — powered entirely by poo — could be picking up passengers in Bristol next year.

Wessex Bus is hoping to run a 20-strong fleet in Bristol while rival operator First West of England is looking to bring 110 poo-powered double deckers to the city.

The announcements come after the UK’s first bio-bus, powered by methane gas extracted from human waste, began services last year on the appropriately named No 2 route.
