The vehicle runs like a normal coach on the road but when in water uses a hull to float and is powered by twin jets. > It is one of several schemes which could be used to replace a ferry service between Renfrew and Yoker, which is to be scrapped by Strathclyde Partnership for Transport in March to save money. ---
