According to a comment on Facebook on a first enthusiasts page it looks like the land owner at thurmaston has now approved the chargers and should be getting finished soon. However this may not be true as its Facebook at the end of the day

8000 was parked up at St Margaret's Bus Station today

I understand the electric deckers are due to be launched into service on the 47/48 & 50/51 from early April

Been saying "next month" since November!
Hopefully April is correct 👍

Leicestershire County Council have been awarded an £8.1m share of ZEBRA2 funding for 46 electric buses - 25 of these are double deckers for Arriva Leicester routes 5/5A and 127

Remaining 21 buses are set for Kinchbus routes 2/5/9/11/12

4 or 5 electrics at Thurmaston Friday so is the time approaching for them to enter service

I wonder if Kinchbus plan to put the frequencies of these services up. Presently the 5, 11 and 12 each have a PVR of 2, the 2 has a PVR of 1 and the 9 has a PVR of three, making a total of *ten* buses.

They are also for the sprint/campus shuttle which currently has 7 solo's to make the 21.

the 5, 9, 11 & 12 have had their pre-covid frequencies restored but rarely manage to run a full days timetable on them.

4750 has reportedly been withdrawn due to a collision, leaving only twelve Pulsar Geminis remaining.

4750 has reportedly been withdrawn due to a collision, leaving only twelve Pulsar Geminis remaining.

4750 is showing on bustimes.org, tracking currently on route 48 (departure from Leicester at 1135). It has not tracked for a couple of days but if it was just a minor 'bump' that would make sense.

Alternatively, the ticket machine may have been transferred into a different vehicle without the vehicle number being changed - so, has anyone viewed any of these journeys to be able to confirm which bus is actually working them?

[Mayfield]

4750 was definitely not on bus times at 8ish this morning but I can definitely see it now
