I did spot E012 & E013 on delivery plates on M42 yesterday.
E012 - LF20 XON
E013 - LF20 XOO

Will the current health crisis impact on the introduction of the electric vehicles? Will they remain in depot pending the crisis passing and a degree of normality returning to bus operations? They could then be launched to a more receptive public as they come out of social distancing measures.

Thanks Tony. Stay safe.

The special timetable being introduced next week allows for up to 16 to be in use, obviously things might change again in the next 10 days.

Hopefully when they do emerge you will be able to post a few photos Tony.

I spotted E010 on the Stratford Road in Sparkbrook this morning.

Had 'Electric Bus Driver Training' on the front display.

Mr Mayor still wants a formal launch, so although I have a lovely photo of E001 fully branded up I cnnot share it yet

Full details of the Coventry Electrics are now here, not sure why the format has gone silly. I will try and correct it

Are you able to say yet which Coventry services these are for? It would save loads of people asking, to be honest.

Good to see the YW ones have a hint of 'traditional' Bham regs with O in the middle.
