They do, they are good at any incline and trump any diesel bus at that.

Don't know where you got your info from wasn't me
That's what I was thinking of, but I thought Pensnett was unable to be accessed on Boxing Day originally?

(And I didnt say I got it from you!)

Are WMNX short of a few bob to put in the meter to charge E334's batteries for the journey down South?

Any sign yet? I'm beginning to wonder whether the photo we all saw of E334 sulking in the corner of a yard somewhere in Scotland was AI generated and it doesn't really exist. If not it must be one of the longest delivery timetables on record!

even if it does get delivered its anybodys guess when it will hit service, there are still so many sitting around - cant see the 2030 target being met at this rate, garages still not capable of taking these buses yet...
does it still count if you actually have them but they are not in service yet
3000 F300 XOF

like 3000 I do not exist anymore........ worth nothing as scrap either

In my opinion it will not be met.
Don't judge me until you've walked in my size ten shoes.
