Bus maker Alexander Dennis has announced up to 400 jobs could be cut as it seeks to move all its UK manufacturing work to a single site in England.

The Scottish-headquartered company said it is looking at “consolidating its UK bus body manufacturing operations” in Scarborough, North Yorkshire.

This would mean its manufacturing facility in Falkirk – which Alexander Dennis said had “already been reduced in recent years” – would close.

In addition the firm said the production lines in Larbert, where it also has its global HQ, would be suspended when current contracts are completed.
