General Discussion, Questions & Route Suggestions / Re: Coventry calling TfWM over...

Last post by Sandy Lane - Yesterday at 06:38:44 PM

Looking at BusTimes or Google maps they currently display separate 'phantom' stops which the stagecoach routes are tagged to alongside the two Cox Street outbound stops and also the inbound stop on Gosford St under the ring road.  I don't know why or how this problem was created but it would indicate the reason why the RTI screen only displays the Stagecoach routes.

I suspect a lot of these current problems in Coventry are to do with a lack of local knowledge at TfWM in Birmingham?

While I don't know how long they take to charge, I do know they have a split in the boards that run over 15(?) hours, so E223 for example will be in service for the first half and it will be replaced at some point in the day by another vehicle.

No that's not how it works. The running boards are changed to match the type of vehicles

Just out If interest how long does it take to fully charge an electric and does it last a full day or do the buses have to pop off service for a refill, ans could we see top up facilities at terminus's, I remember when Decorcey had a fleet of electric Versas for the P&R and there were charging facilities at Memorial park.

Why do people have to know everything in advance, why can't people just wait until they enter service.

Except the first 40 are unlikely to replace all double decks.
