National Express West Midlands / Re: Electric Buses

Last post by danny - Yesterday at 04:13:49 PM

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.

Wonder if 63523 will ever see service again

At some point soon I'd say - for a brand new bus that only had a few days / weeks in service I cannot believe they'd keep it off road indefinitely

For TfWM's info there at two outbound stops in Cox St. CU4 is the one under the 'elephant' and another at the top of the hill CU3.

So not sure why CU4 is called Cox St on the flag? Would it not be better to follow NXC practice who recognise CU4 as Starley Gardens and this is the call used by NXC in next stop on board announcements?

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.

Hello TfWM,

More to the Coventry city centre stop CU4 Cox Street issue and not just  RTI.

Did 2090 have a crash accident too? Or its just randomly not out yet for a while?

I'm not too sure, have you checked the buses which don't track it may of been out but not tracked on bus times.
