24195 is tracking in hull on route 3 and in Mansfield on route 141
It's a tracking error then, doesn't really need highlighting here.

Worth mentioning imo, I remember when 27197 had a mistrack once in Worksop and Hull at same time and ended up the Hull one being right, when it was a Worksop allocated bus
It can be deceiving

But it suggests that the bus itself is electric, rather than referring to other buses.

The ticket machine should pick up the fleetnumber of the bus from a chip in the base. If it doesn't, it just reverts back to whatever bus it was on last.

Oh cool, never knew how these machines did that tbf
I been informed from several people at Hull Depot today that there is a mini launch event this week (unsure where)
The remaining Electrics will back from Scunthorpe on the weekend
All should be in service monday if all goes to plan as power is now on the chargers

Fleet number can be changed by a supervisor on the machines. Several times I’ve swapped a bus in Scunthorpe, they’ve swapped ticket machines over and not changed the fleet number so it will take wrong.
EG I went to Scunthorpe in 26173
Came back in 27190. However they swapped the machines as it’s a hull machine, but never the fleet number. So whilst I’m driving back in 27190. Bus times will show 26173.

I have also heard of a launch event at MKM stadium but that’s as much as I know. Judging by the lack of anything anywhere I’d imagine it’s something for media.
Also heard they’re hoping to have buses out Monday.
I got no idea as im not baced there maby someone like James Taylor who works at the depot might know

For some reason only two buses are tracking on the 100 today
I heard they only got 10 charges each with 2 chargers on so can only charge 20 at a time
There talk buses be swapped through day to recharge them
But not sure as not there James have you any idea on this?
Not that im aware off it until they get another bus to replace it

Ahh fair, I would expect that they wouldnt get rid of diesels in 1 purge it'll probably be a few and keep a few in reserve fleet as backup incase the EVs have teething issues
Talks are the early 19s without next stop announcements are going eg 19045, 191**, 192**, 193** at hull also the 22*** MANs (but aparently the 24 plate MANs are returning (24196, 24200-24204 as short term replacements dont think 24194/5/7/8/9 are however) also a number of scotish MAN E400s
But not sure if plans have changed

Service 100 now has only one static bus tracking today and nothing else.

Maybe but interested to see what Grimsby will get?
From someone from the North East, I can confirm 80295 is still at Stockton - and will be until Stockton gain a replacement for it.
