Fully Electric Decker
Fully Electric Decker
Go North East have a fully electric Optare decker on demo for the 21.
Martijn has also mentioned, others will be coming to test for future orders.

MG has said it’ll enter service next week

(09 Jun 2021, 5:24 pm)streetdeckfan The main issue with Hydrogen is the infrastructure required, even more so than going BEV.
I'm guessing if they go Hydrogen they'd have to build their own generation plant as I don't believe there is anywhere local to supply it, although I could be mistaken on that.
I do think that for a lot of GNE's routes Hydrogen would probably be the better of the electric options due to it's higher energy density enabling a longer range, although that could all change depending on how much change we see in battery technology.

(09 Jun 2021, 6:35 pm)Adrian I don't think it's as simple as dropping infrastructure in, as I thought it had to run through a pipeline or something. Admittedly I don't know a lot about it though!
There was talk of BP building a facility on Teesside: https://www.spglobal.com/platts/en/produ...ergy-model

(09 Jun 2021, 5:24 pm)streetdeckfan The main issue with Hydrogen is the infrastructure required, even more so than going BEV.I agree, much better suited to long routes like Xlines or angel etc. Electric for shorter local routes. They just need battery technology to advance a bit more. However the metals required are so rare to produce these batteries, hydrogen is the only current long sustainable power source

Does it have a fleet number and was it in service today?
(14 Jun 2021, 7:01 pm)transportintyneandwear Does it have a fleet number and was it in service today?More likely have a 90**

(15 Jun 2021, 9:03 am)6049 I know I've already said this elsewhere but I've always felt that Hydrogen offers the longer term solution so it would be nice to see something like that trialled.Agreed, the ore used to produce batteries is too rare. I'm sure GNE will trial one at some point

Is the electric decker in service yet ? There is a spare ticket machine showing on service 25 today and not sure if that is it.

Damn, well that's one I need to see and try along with 6101 now

Rumour has it that they are looking for an extension lead long enough for it.
Hmmm so why not place it at riverside. Lol unless it's got to CLS no power and no charging so Is stuck there.
