…and MG indicates GNE will be trialling one soon.
And some figures on the fuel saving from the Yutongs:

9 buses.
300,000 miles a year run on Green electricity.
180,000 litres of diesel saved.
That's 470,000 kg of C02 not entering the atmosphere.

Not sure if this is similar to the ones recently introduced in edinburgh, but having been on the Lothian ones, quite a nice ride and comfortable as well

I'm sure I read somewhere, that some tocs have been reverting back to diesel ops when available as it works out cheaper.

(30 Oct 2021, 3:43 pm)IRHardy It was two Freight Operating Companies: Freightliner & Direct Rail Services, the FOCs pay as they use the electricity from Network Rail whereas the Passenger TOCs don't. The FOCs do not always operate all the services that are in the Working Timetable so they don't want to have a standing charge, whereas the TOCs (well pre-COVID) pretty much operated all the services that they planned to so the charges were not wasted.

Next batch of EVs due around July 2022 (stated by MG on the Net Zero Transport NCC Policy Cabinet meeting yesterday - available to watch on NCC’s YouTube channel).
Not sure if that date was already known.
Kim Purcell (Arriva) also added that Arriva NE and Stagecoach NE will be trialling a hydrogen bus later in the year.

Not sure if that date was already known.
