Quote from: Mayfield on March 26, 2024, 09:11:12 PMNoted today on the M6 north near Cannock we're 4 EvoRas in what I believe is Bee network livery.
They are for Stagecoach

Quote from: Wumpty on March 25, 2024, 09:59:25 PMNot sure it's a lack of forward planning. My understanding is that the hydrogen situation is due to refuelling station issues beyond NX control.

The electrics are being delivered at a great pace, but there's only so much charging infrastructure available currently. NX would be damned either way if the infrastructure was in place and buses hadn't been delivered. Personally, I think the current situation is the better scenario.
Yes, unfortunately NX didn't plan for the problems in the Red Sea, which I am lead to believe was one of the delays

Quote from: markcf83 on March 25, 2024, 12:20:31 PMAnother Monday, another series of route tender results.

All of the routes announced today were retained by their current operators which allows for a bit of continuity.

Metroline have retained route 4 and will be running new electric buses.

Go Ahead London have retained routes 22,88 and 176. The first two,both of which have Night services too,are to gain new electric buses too. The 176 keeps its current buses.

London United have retained routes 117,281 and 419. All will retain their current buses which includes the relatively recent electric buses on the 281.

All are due to commence their latest contracts in stages throughout the second half of the year with the 281 being first among them in July. The rest of them are to begin theirs in the autumn and into December.
It will be interesting to see what London General orders for the 22 & 88 as apparently the current London General order is the last one Alexander Dennis are going to build on BYD chassis.

Your first post was about them being slow which is just complete rubbish

Your new post is just as stupid. 

No one cares whether spotters wants them on every route. With the current finances in the industry you'll be lucky to have an buses at all unless operators modernise to attract passengers with cheaper to operate vehicles

So that makes your post even dafter

Quote from: Jay71 on March 23, 2024, 10:34:21 AMWe  can now look forward to having super slow buses on the 110. This is great(not)
What a weird comment, electric buses accelerate faster than most diesels, an electric car would always be at a petrol car in a drag race due to much higher torque. Top speed is what ever you set the limiter at.

Quote from: ellspurs on March 22, 2024, 09:21:54 PMAfter First pulled out in 2022 it has pretty much been Bluestar (Uni-Link is part of them). There's Xelabus around but they only run a couple of services. The Sailsbury Red and the remaining First services come in from Sailsbury/Portsmouth.
No, all those liveries were just on normal service on local Blue star routes, the unilink one was the old version without names

Quote from: Mike K on March 22, 2024, 08:04:58 PMThe current Stagecoach livery is awful in my opinion, although I guess at least it looks like some thought has gone into it. I think Go Ahead have some of the better liveries out there - often quite basic 2 colour liveries and often diagonal - but make good use of vinyls to give an end result that looks effective. Salisbury Reds and the latest Morebus m1/m2 liveried E400MMCs are examples. Practical and stylish at the same time is possible.
I was in Southampton last Saturday the fleet there is just a jumbled as the varieties in the West Midlands with the local Blue Star along with London Red, Go North East Blue & Red, Salisbury Reds, Southern Vectis Green, Unibus purple & Grey as well as a couple of special liveries for specific routes and a couple of specials. Last thing it looked like was there was only one operator there.

It needed King Pins replaced, which was done a couple of weeks ago, but is out of MoT, BC hope to get it ready for presentation in a couple of weeks time
