Definitely a rare sight! I got slightly confused when I first saw it at Belgrave Middleway (by the McDonalds)

When a bus isn't tracking I can only see where it is. And it is currently in Perry Barr garage

Thanks for that, I need to locate my bus pass and I don't know if a driver has picked it up I believe it is on this bus but I can't contact them as it's closed and have no other way of getting to college

If you know what time you caught the bus someone at PB might be able to find out what veichle was on that journey, or ask the Driver of that journey did they find anything on the Veichle or the driver who took it over after the driver of your journey if they swapped over after

Presumably E334, when delivered, will be the last of the current order for EV's. What comes next in the context of EV's or will there be a pause for NXWM to catch its breath?

I am going to the garage to ask. I also know that it was E326 as it was the only E3xx bus that was going towards Handsworth at the time of me catching it.

The Real 4777

It occurred to me earlier, whilst sat behind E2xx at a respectful distance, that the 'Zero Emissions at the tailpipe' slogan actually makes no sense. 

For starters, we have exhaust pipes in this country, but moreover, an electrical bus doesn't have an exhaust pipe, so the claim is factually impossible.

That's the joke lol, it's not meant to be factual. it's meant to make you think this, it's irony.

If so, the irony is pretty dark (appropriately) when the production emissions in China are considered.
