Harrogate Buses as gone electric power

I notice that the BBC are saying - "Harrogate's the first town in the UK to use electric buses on all local routes!" - which is untrue as Harrogate still has other bus operators which do not run electric vehicles. For example Connexions Buses operate the X6 (Harrogate to Harlow Pines) and the X12 (Harrogate to Duchy Road) which are local routes. Another case of the BBC not getting their facts right again.
