Broken down electric buses seem to a regular site in Dublin. It's amazing that the company I work for has 24 year old ALX400 bodied Volvos and yet they never give us any trouble yet its nearly always the newer buses I see with the hazards on and warning triangle out.

The stagecoach ones for route 86 only became fully allocated quite recently despite entering into service since the beginning of the year. Probably also the last ones using the now old streetdeck face-lift

I love the sounds of the electric buses when they've stopped. Don't seem to be that many around London though. How many miles can it go on a single charge? The 307 is a fairly long route.
@BristolRE2 ай бұрын
Not sure about miles, but they can last about 16 hours if they start on 100% charge, then run in with about 6-8%

The duty card has abbreviations I know a few but what is NBAR? And is that the electric bus noise ?
@BristolRE2 ай бұрын
NBAR is New Barnet. Because electric buses don't have an engine, and thus no engine sounds, they emit a noise at speeds below 15mph to warn blind people that a vehicle is close by
