E058 is the only new EV to have data on bustimes which is strange given that I don't even think it has entered service yet

E057  NXWM E057 (wmbusphotos.com)
E067  NXWM E067 (wmbusphotos.com)

Both delivered today, completing the batch E034-E070

Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere but one of these (E054 I think?) was parked up empty at the end of currently closed Broad St (Birmingham), Centenary Square, at the first bus stop from city, but on the wrong side of the carriageway facing to city. 

Anyone know why?

For publicity for the Conservative Party Conference. Andy Street had several photos taken in front of it.
I took it back to BC this morning

Someone on bustimes has changed the livery on E025 from the 9 branding to Electric Sky Blue?

E024 on the 3 today and running thru to Hospital.
Batteries must be taking a right bashing from those nasty speed humps on skipworth road.

E029 has a new rear NHS advert

Tony

E069 has been signed off for for service today, so will probably be out tomorrow. That will be the first '72' plate into use 

Tony

E056 & E067 both went to Coventry today for service

How many of the new electric buses have been used in service? They do not appear to be tracking.

Tony

29 are at Coventry now, but I don't think E055/7 have come out in service yet

Using here. on FB and general observations, I've got: E034/E036-E038/E040/E042-E045/E047-E048/E050-E057/E061-E067/E069.

Think that's 27, so I am 2 missing.

(Actually, I may have missed E058)

Tony

Bustimes isn't lying E086 genuinely is on the 85 all the way through to Rugby
