Salisbury Reds has now installed hand sanitisiers for customers to use as they board buses across the area.

The company says the will "complement bus cleaning regimes. "

Managing Director Andrew Wickham says passenger numbers have been increasing recently

"Since the government began easing lockdown, we have seen a steady increase in passengers across our network - and we are thrilled to be welcoming them back."

"Our team is good to go - and so are our buses. We already have stringent cleaning regimes in place - including extra focus on touch touch-points with anti-viral wipes. But we are are giving our operation the 'belt and braces' treatment, by also adding hand sanitisers."

"It's about ensuring people know they can travel on our buses with confidence and, with demand for our services rising, we are pleased with the response we are seeing here."

Salisbury Reds recently received the industry standard mark 'We're Good to Go' - which recognises its efforts to implement cleaning and social distancing measures for staff and customers during the coronavirus crisis.

The standard is issued by Visit Britain to confirm businesses are ready to encourage visitors.
