Looks like it may of actually been 40835 itself on the 40s instead of the electric bus itself as it showing two trips on bustimes at the same time.

Managed to ride the Electroliner today on the 16A into City, first time I've been on any electrics or test vehicles. Seemed quite smooth but not too much different to the other streedecks. What was interesting was the display upstairs showing time, power used and battery, which was at about 48% lol.

Does anybody know if the electoliner is out today please

Kidderminster-based 30001 (WX07 UOB) appears to be tracking in Manchester has this transferred?

Highly unlikely, it's too old & not Euro 6, it's just double tracking:

It was in Wolverly this morning on the 829:

Must admit I'm intrigued by a presumbly recent transfer into Tividale.

It's a E200 with Arriva interior, currently on 31/32's, but the wheelchair section is about halfway down the bus!

Wouldn't this cause a problem if the bus is up to capacity & lots of standing passengers?

I take it you are talking about one of the 37000 E200's.

The wheelchair section is halfway down the bus due to it previously being from arriva london and dual door as the wheelchair ramp would have been on the middle door.

Obviously your point still remains and i have no clue how it will work.

Would've thought after removing the extra door, the dealer/whoever would've got the bus interior realigned?

[MX05WHR-Enjoyer]

Probably would have cost more money to do that, the bus is still theoretically psvar and can go out on service. I dont know if diamond converted it to single door, but if they did diamond arent quite known to spend extra money on things.
