Something to do with they need to run a big cable from near Kenton school where the electric infrastructure is to Slatyford depot which is a whole thing itself then taking the roof off the depot where they’ve done this before but had complaints from the residents near the depot for the noise so had to put the roof back on. So apparently they’re just going to give them to Stockton and take the 262’s from them.
Aye that's fair, would make sense from the Slatyford side mind. Be interesting to see if the Stockton side happens though, as I could see big problems with that. Can't see Kim etc being happy that they're losing their electric buses to Houchen.
This is totally sidewards conversation, but is there any reason why the chargers can't be fitted inside the shed? It seems pretty high to the stage it wouldn't be an issue there?
