I would have thought the loan buses would have gone back to Coventry now that the hydrogen buses are back in service.

Fuelling station can currently only fuel 10 a day, only one of the two compressors has been fixed

How long does it physically take to refuel once it arrives at the station.

Takes about 7 minutes

Mayfield · October 10, 2023, 02:44:04 PM

For the uneducated can you explain why they can only fuel 10 if it take 7 minutes to fill, is it because it has to be for want of a better word manufactured on site

Tony · October 10, 2023, 02:50:23 PM

Because only one compressor is working, so only one of the storage tanks can be filled

I know you will probably think I'm thick but is the hydrogen delivered to the refuelling facility by tanker ?

No, it is produced on site, it is then compressed into two large tanks at high pressure ready for filling the buses, with only half capacity available it restricts the number of buses that can be fuelled

Nxwm loans track as there on the same system

Coventry is on a different system that's why they don't track
