Sorry if you said this already but how many is PB getting and what's the next depot that will get electric buses?

"Every diesel double deck will be replaced"
It's been said time over time. And we know it's YW next.

I've been on loads of electrics on 33 none have had announcements on that route

Is it just a trick of the light or is E275 in a single tone grey, not two-tone as are the other electrics?

Thanks Tony but have I missed something? Why is E275 a 'repaint'?

It isn't a repaint !

JosephR · June 27, 2024, 07:34:26 PM

I don't quite get this. Diesels are to be phased out and that would mean the single grey repaints would also Dissipate by 2030, in turn anything electric that would remain would be the same (1) two tone livery. LOL.

To put it simply, single tone grey is the new fleet livery. Buses up to E274 and some early repaints are two tone grey as that was going to be standard livery before the colour scheme was changed to a single tone.

Just been reading about NEWPOWER a Wrightbus company based in Bicester, I think it's the first OEM to do electric conversions/refurbs offering 10 year warranties to, they say the best buses to convert are 5 to 10 year olds midlife buses, they will only do there buses, aiming to do 500 a year, it seems firstbus are the main customers cost £200/250k a bus half the price of a new bus, I wonder if ADL has similar plans in the pipeline
