Yes, Rugby local 4 (Brownsover - Cawston Grange) will be getting electric single deckers.

The services within Warwickshire getting electric buses (all Yutongs) are in this list:

Ah yes, but that's a separate funding stream, there is another one for the Coventry electric bus city project, which is funding the electric buses for the 86.


My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

Yes, that is correct.

If December 2025 is the deadline for the Coventry All Electric Bus Scheme it would be good see if it possible to work out how many EV's Rugby garage could have in total by the end of 2025.

Calculations
SC route 86. What is the PVR?
Do they really need 4 vehicles for the hourly 86 service?
SC route 85 (Sundays) 1 vehicle

Then there is Warwickshire Zebra2 
SC route 4. What is the PVR?

Plus a surprise! I reckon the cross boundary subsidised tendered services are to be re-tendered for EV's by Warks CC before end of 2025. 
It is possible SC could decide to bid for one or more of the current NX 24 / 25 / 85 routes? Not confirmed but who knows?
If SC do win any of these routes the EV's could also be based at Rugby garage?

So Rugby garage may possibly be getting more than just 4 EV charging points installed this year?

Any thoughts?
Has anyone been round the garage recently?
