History

The network was originally operated with a fleet of 1997 built Wright Crusader bodied Volvo B6LEs, which were painted in National Express circles livery with the red replaced by light blue. In 2008 these were replaced by 32 Alexander Dennis Enviro200 Darts painted in National Express white and grey livery.^[6] In 2019 5 Wright Streetlite DFs were added to the fleet.

Fares and competition

As of 2024^[update], Hotel Hoppa fares start at £6.80 per adult for a single and £12.00 for a return. There is a 50p surcharge per journey to buy a ticket on the bus. Up to two children per adult are free.^[7]
