[Sandy Lane]

What are Arriva's plans to switch over to EV's for the small number their services serving Coventry by end of 2025?
eg, the 74 and X6.

Afaik the X6 is excluded as it's a coach service.

although just lately uses more buses than coaches, maybe time for an upgrade to higher-spec electric deckers

If its a coach then taking pushchairs/wheelchairs could be interesting. No mention of this on the X6 timetable though.

The 74* are also up for tender, with current contracts due to expire at end of December 2025.

It depends very much on whether Arriva have submitted a bid or not.

Why? The Temsa Coaches are wheelchair-lift fitted & pushchairs go in the locker.

Good point but I don't reckon they are EV's?

Of course not, but they don't need to be at the moment.

Electric Coach options are available, should the need (or desire) arise.
