Electric Buses

Isn't the next batch of new electrics due to arrive towards the end of the year? Guessing they'll be wright electroliners?

My guess is this will be a replacement order for the 100 or so Hydroliners!

They aren't having much success with the current Hydrogens due to Fuelling issues although now currently Fixed, Unless WA becomes a Hydrogen Garage I think it will be Electroliners and even then the Black Country Garages will be some of the last to get Electric Buses unless WA becomes the Garage where the Wright Products live the StreetDecks, the Hydroliners and Electroliners so Diesel, Hydrogen and Electric Wright Products at one Garage.

Might have been asked previously but any news on when E334 might arrive in West Midlands? Going to be a much photographed arrival.

I was reading that ADL is placing E400EV 'seed' vehicles (vehicles made to operators' specifications, for longer term evaluation) with some of the major operators to try to generate orders. NXWM has been mentioned - I wonder if E334 is one of these? Here's a picture of one that will be joining First:

Looks smart in the new First livery.

I've heard Arriva will be receiving AR74ZEB. I wonder if E334 will end up as NX74ZEB?
