I doubt AG would get Electroliners, perhaps they would get the new E400EVs later on due to bridge height restrictions on the 5.

It's already been explained that the current new E400EV's are going to be the last that will be constructed.

I'm referring to the brand new integral E400EVs, which replace the BYD E400EVs, as potentially new electric buses for AG in the future.

Still not an excuse for the reduced frequency, unreliability, rammed vehicles, etc. and as someone who frequently uses the 12 as their local route I can say that this is not just a regular occurrence during peak times it is just as bad (sometimes worse) during the evenings and occasionally at daytime it has actually gotten so bad to the point where the 12 is sometimes even struggling to cope with deckers during peak hours.

why not ?
cant break myself of the connection to AG as it was my local garage years ago and they had better vehicles than YW, decades have passed since i left the area, but i still feel a little affection towards AG
it seems outwardly that AG mostly get cast offs from elsewhere, most new vehicles that do get to AG dont stay long before they are transferred elsewhere, i know this is the exception not the rule........ you did ask

Here we go again, AG has had plenty of new buses. They are getting 5 year old Platinums at the moment, surely that's better than 21 year old cascades...

They have had plenty of new buses, it's been said before many times. You just seem blatantly ignorant to what they have had!
