The Scarborough ones have a handwritten fleetnumber in the nearside windscreen, but would be impossible to read on the motorway

Are the new electric buses air conditioned? The air coming out of the vents of the upper deck of E172 is fairly cool.

You know the new Volvo demo 1908, I'm pretty sure this was at the euro bus expo few years ago. It looked very smart does it have a B8 dashboard too I can't rember fully but I'm sure I rember seeing it at the euro bus expo.

It's only 18 months old, so wouldn't have been there a few years ago

I saw three electrics trundling down the m42 this morning, between j10 and 9, about 10am. It looked like the first one was E190, couldn't see what the other two were. They had the NIS nxcov.com blinds on the front.

There was an oversized vehicle trying to overtake them, and then quite a queue behind them!

I don't know if I've missed something but according to Bus Times, E177 spent yesterday on a duty on the 529 - is this correct, and is it on loan to WN currently?

Surprised if it was.

It was never on 529 if you click on it it has tracked on there since march it's a tracking issue. E177 hasn't actually entered service yet
