Luton Airport shuttle buses join Ukraine war effort

Three former airport shuttle buses have been donated for use in the Ukraine war effort.

Bus operator Go-Ahead donated the vehicles previously used by London Luton Airport to the Swindon Humanitarian Aid Partnership.

The buses were used until March when the airport launched a new driverless shuttle service.

They are now primarily being used as transport for Ukrainian soldiers with their Luton Airport livery intact.

A team of volunteer drivers drove the busses to their new home.

Spokesperson for the Go-Ahead Group, Andrew Clark, said it was good the buses could be "put to good use, as a small contribution to Ukraine's war effort".

A fourth bus, owned by one of Go-Ahead's local bus companies, was donated to Ukraine in May and is now being used a field hospital.
