Hydrogen vehicles

[Tony]

The hydrogens are nearly 3 years old and you can't get them all in service at once, giving numerous reasons including the fuelling facilities, what makes you think it going to get any better in the future, hydrogen is not the way forward, the reason is because the people who think they wonderful are the ones that made the poor decisions from the start and bury there heads in the sand and try and justify the decisions, end of shift for electrics park it, plug it and forget it until the morning and it's considerably cheaper with hydrogen likely to get more expensive.

How are hydrogen powered vehicles performing elsewhere in the UK?

There's a batch in Aberdeen, if I recall correctly.

There's only one of the 20 currently not seeing service 


Metroline have a batch in service, Metrobus have single deckers at Crawley and the first Alexander Dennis ones are currently being prepared in Merseyside

I was up there last month and again, hardly any were out. Don't know if it has improved since

Maybe only 1 not seeing service, but that's not the point you cannot get all available buses in service at the same time.

[BN]

When are the 100 due to be delivered, which depot/deports are going to operate them and what facilities are in place or being built ?

I honestly can't see them coming.

I'm hoping those 24 articulated things don't come

Most days last week every Hydrogen running board was allocated a hydrogen

[Mayfield]

So how many running boards are there 9 or 10, so that's not really a true reflection of the situation, if you've got 20 buses you should have 19 boards, also it's all about clean air and they
Don't even run on a Sunday.

Been a few more out last week compared to other weeks and was more out yesterday than previous few Saturdays but you are right when you say none out on a Sunday after they were advertising that there would be minimum 6 out on a Sunday in that article.

[Mayfield]

10 out Saturday, let see what happens during the week coming shall we.

There were 12 out yesterday which is the allocated number, someone else who likes posting guesses / Bustimes as facts

H1002, 1003, 1005, 1006, 1008, 1010, 1011, 1013, 1014, 1015, 1018 & 1019 

[PB50]

12 hydrogens currently out in service.

13 are out.

I presume you are counting of Bustimes and ignoring h1008

[PB50]

113 are out.

Partly. Haven't seen that one yet but saw most of them this morning whilst in town.

Hydrogen operating on the 934 a few days ago.. will we begin to see them on more routes around Walsall?
