Electric Buses

When will the Perry Barr electric buses E299 301/4/5/ Start tracking

As soon as we can get the kit to work, same as other non tracking buses. There is a concerted effort going on at the moment to reduce the number of non-trackers

E301 hasn't tracked, because it hasn't been in service yet!

E304 & E305 haven't tracked because they are parked in Miller Street and won't be going to Perry Barr

E258 is due to go to YW for service tomorrow.

Are they not far away from putting the extra chargers into use at YW or have they been commissioned for use now?

All the kit is now fitted, just the legalities over the supply to finish.

E269 is also going to YW today and should be in service next week

[Tony]

E278 into service on the 907 tonight, that's the 130th to carry passengers

When most electrics are delivered to YW will the E400 MMCs stay at YW or will they be moved like with what happened at PB?

Don't expect an answer (usual rule that people ignore applies)

I see.Thanks for that;guessing their introduction isn't that far off then.

Why would they move out E400MMCs when there are Tridents and OmniLinks that need getting rid of?

Hopefully the omnilinks will be first out of the door, Quite frequent I see them decker boards (ie 49 & 76)

"National Express West Midlands invests record £150 million in 300 UK-made electric zero emission buses
We are investing £150 million in 300 UK-made electric zero emission buses, for delivery by the end of December 2024. The buses will be deployed across the West Midlands"
This was a order from around Jan 2023. I heard 170 were E400EV's and 130 were Electroliners. With not even 1 Electroliner delivered, the target is surely missed right?

Why can't you just be patient and just wait ?

Jan 2023 was a long time ago now, lets just say that things didn't go to plan, and situations and circumstances have caused delays.

So 130 electroliners are definitely ordered and should be seeing some soon. Nice

You should consider a career as their spokesperson!
