Electric Buses

If so, the irony is pretty dark (appropriately) when the production emissions in China are considered.

I very highly doubt that the average person thinks about China when reading the adverts on the back of a bus. Maybe you, though.

Of course they don't. Which is why scams like Net Zero carry on.

E300 and E302 now at PB, both possibly out this afternoon,  neither will track

[Mayfield]

I find it amazing you can't can a tracker working before it enters service not as if there being rushed in to service, have E127 & 143 at Coventry ever tracked

Nope, their trackers don't work and haven't worked since they entered service.

I don't know if 'Emily' or 'Bus_Guy' usernames on Bustimes are on here, but I can assure you that none of E241-E333 have ever carried, or formally allocated any other registration, so how many times former registrations are added to these vehicles I will carry on deleting them.
Yes Zenobe are issued blocks of registrations the same as all vehicle dealers are, but until they tell the DVSA they are just that, dealer blocks of registrations. Up to E240 are different as they did have plates applied by Alexander Dennis.

@Tony, Thanks for the updates on the electric buses. However, is there any news you are able to share on when YW's infrastructure will be in place to enable more of their electric buses to enter service? I'm presuming this will trigger other changes including Trident and further Scania withdrawals. Also curious to see what happens with the 4718 batch of E400s. 

[Westy]

Which garage comes next after YW for electric conversion, or is it a 'secret' ?

[Ingleboro261F]

Will the other off lease zenobe electric vehicles make a comeback (E004,E017,E018)?

Yes at some point

[Mayfield]

Where are they and the other 5 Zenobe ones Coventry.

Where are they and the other 5 Zenobe ones Coventry.

Only E004 E017 E018 and Z4008 are there

saw Zenobe Z4004 yesterday in Kings Heath, apart from the fact she had at least 5 different colours of grey patchwork paint, there was not a single straight body panel on the drivers side, was she being used for Stock Car Training ??

I don't think so. Z4004 is currently parked at Roberts in hugglescote
