A lot better than England. I drove buses for First for 5 years and all we had were Clapped out street lites and Streetdecks. We did have a few B7TL Gemini and B9TL Gemini 2 which were lovely to drive. Streetlites were the most uncomfortable horrible sweaty buses, dreadful.
They have better technology in the transport museum, instead of subsidizing battery powered buses, we should be investing in overhead lines- far safer! No massive battery fires to risk and just far more efficient, costs a little more at first, but you do't have to junk the bus when the battery goes bad!

We should just bring back trolley buses, ripped out the last of the green transport in the 60s, now we just pretend we are green!
Give it 2 years and these will all be ready for scrap. Joys of electric buses
that is I think electric powered vehicles downfall. They can easily be outdated in just a few years in terms of range and accessibility.
Nope, there is an 8 year warranty on the batteries. By that time they can be replaced with new ones and the old ones can have a second life
@@29rvnd not only that but in the 8 years since release battery technology will have and is already getting significantly better.
@@TeckPanda correct, so we will see these buses perform even better in the future.
What’s the power these dual-headed chargers can output?
150kW total, shared 50/50 if 2 vehicles are connected
I live up the road from this area
Gary West isn’t the sort you would leave with the grandkids
Upskill and train staff?? You need to have a functioning system in place first maybe? For example busses that actually turn up? Just a thought
One leads to the other
did i mention that this is cool?
I think @Idioticcrazybusscots thinks this is cool
