I travelled on it today to try it out. Went from Newcastle --> Durham. By god it takes an age (or at least feels like it going in a straight line mostly). Besides the point I agree with some of your points but we have higher standards and expectations as enthusiasts. Juxtaposed to the elderly folk in Birtley and students of Durham who seemed to love the bus going "ooo it's electric", "I love the bell sound", note this is the normal Yutong sound exactly the same as the Voltras as well as "this is a really cool bus which is fast too". |

RE: Electric vehicles
Don't know if anyone else noticed (well probably those within the company have).
The Yutong U11DD Demo (which has now returned to Pelican) managed to operate in service for 23 days in a row from Tuesday 16th Jan to Tuesday 7th Feb. Even for a demo bus that is remarkable reliability, and I don't think standard buses achieve that level of reliability without having a day off or two. |

Don't think it's too unexpected, most the Geminis have similar lengths at Blyth, just flicking through them quickly on Bus times which is generally reliable for buses actually been on the road. One of them has only had 1 day off since the 8th December. Quite impressive considering their age, guess it all comes down to who looks after them, ie. not Redcar. |

RE: Electric vehicles
Do we know how long it will be until the Zebra 2 funded EVs arrive - is it like likely within a year, 2 years, more?

I understand that the electric bus manufacturers have bulging order books and are quoting over 12 months for delivery of buses ordered now. The biggest delay however is getting the required HV electric supply to depots, in some case operators are being told it will take 10 years to provide an electric supply of the voltage required. |

RE: Electric vehicles
So basically there’s more chance of Riverside fixing the Angel Streetdecks in the next 5 years than there is of EVs appearing on the angel
