The way I'm reading it is 1 and 5 will be E200EV. 6/7/8 will be E100EV. 2 and 13 presumably continue as E200s. There's only 12 E200EVs coming, so not all of the E200s can be replaced. There's also got to be one for 373
Hengrove seems to be fully electric since the last few Yutongs arrived as all of the B9s have moved out. The 160 figure is what's quoted on various Zebra funding articles and it's also included in that article at the bottom in the editor notes
It doesn't look like any figure tallies up right. Nothing works out as 160 plus the 91 previous electrics. And I'm under the impression that the airport fleet is under a separate order? Presumably paid by the airport?

But it doesn't say that in the article - it says 116 due for LH in...
A little query for anyone who might know. Suggestions are that LH gets 116 new electrics. Firstly is that right?
All Yutong deckers? Presumably 30168-30283? Or some singles?
If that is 116 deckers, surely that means LH will be solely electric and gas for deckers?
Does that mean the Scanias...
Thanks. Anyone know what the breakdown is for the depots and what routes the 160 will be on?
Obviously 5 E100s for Bath for 6/7/8 and 12 E200s presumably for 1 and 5
I'm guessing the 3 E12s are extras for 8 and partly for 36?
Anyone know exactly how many electric buses are due for First WoE? I read somewhere there's 160 due for Lawrence Hill and Bath, but that's on top of 74. Is that also on top of the ones that came last year or is the figure of 74 the batch that came to Hengrove last year?
Anyone know how many...
Not sure what thread to put this on exactly, but question relating to Plymouth.
I note that some new Electroliners have turned up recently, all being 26 plates. I didn't realise that they were due anymore electrics than the 50 they already had. I can't find any articles on this - is it further...
Further to that I had a more thorough look yesterday. Eventually I found some articles on it.
Barnstaple - 21 electrics due. 14 E400EVs with 7 E100EVs. Deckers for 21/A/B. E100s for town work.
Exeter - 30 electrics due. 10 E400EVs and 20 Volvo BZL. 10 deckers for 4. 20 singles for presumably...
Has anyone got a definitive list of how many electrics are due for each depot and what type? Also what services they will be intended for?
Latest I can find is 110 electrics in total. 59 for Torquay, 21 Barnstaple, 30 Exeter. Is that right?
20 BZL, 10 E100EV, 12 Yutong E10, 58 E400EV - is that...
So they've all returned from Wright? Seems quite costly all of this. I assume when they re-enter service it'll push out the B9s and some E400s? Though I assume the new electrics will also push out those and the remaining bendies.
Talking of bendies, will they have to increase the frequency of 1...
Apologies for the repetition that I'm sure this has come up many times - are all of the Hydroliners running in service in Aberdeen now or are some of them still away?
The cold store was removed over covid to save on costs - the lease on it was ancient and apparently a very costly/poor lease, so they reduced the pvr, parked the buses differently in the depot and saved on a lease along with 4 hours for 2 drivers to shunt each day.
I believe they've been in...
