I think it would look something like this if they didn't use that horrendous special livery.

Cos if they were to go onto the Q3, there would be enough Q3's to replace either the X20 or 35/35A RE: Electric vehicles - Jack Gill - 06 Jul 2022 Are the new electrics still actually coming as it's been quite quiet and nothing has been mentioned?

Pros - I like how you can shut the vents above you - Wireless Charging Ports are bigger enough for my 6.7 inch phone, compared to any other ones & enviro ones would be lucky to fit a iPhone 5 into - They've got power Cons - Seats were very hard - Seats were quite high - NSA Screens for wheelchairs blocks the entire view - NSA are really loud, they were only on for like 15 mins and I already had a headache - Seats facing backwards are quite awkward, should have been flipped - Poor Level of Openable Windows I really hope GNE don't buy any more yutongs.

GNE seem to be quite happy with their Yutongs, and with an increased focus on fleet standardisation, they would probably need considerable reason to make the switch to another manufacturer.

Maybe just not the greatest for passengers, the seats are like sitting on bricks.

RE: Electric vehicles - V514DFT - 01 Feb 2023 18, is that for the Cobalts RE: Electric vehicles - LVK 404L - 01 Feb 2023 (01 Feb 2023, 2:07 pm)V514DFT wrote 18, is that for the CobaltsNo, it's confirmed they are for the 21. RE: Electric vehicles - streetdeckfan - 01 Feb 2023 If they're purchased for the 21, does the same rules apply as other funding where they have to stay on the route they were purchased for, or be replaced with an equivalent or better vehicle? RE: Electric vehicles - Rapidsnap - 01 Feb 2023 Wonder if the buses for the 21 will be the new Yutong Electric double decker that is in the pipeline. RE: Electric vehicles - itsadam - 01 Feb 2023 Does Riverside even have the capacity for more charge points for new EVs? Electric vehicles - TEN 6083 - 01 Feb 2023 (01 Feb 2023, 5:42 pm)itsadam wrote Does Riverside even have the capacity for more charge points for new EVs? I think it was said when they built it that it has capacity for 30 buses. They’ve already got 18 so that would leave 12 empty bays if all are in use at the same time so they may need a few more.

Wouldn't criticize seats as they offer good form for damaged spines. charge pockets can take a S22 Ultra, most cant.

RE: Electric vehicles - nova347 - 04 Feb 2023 With the Yutongs why is one side of the doors have stripes on it also with the 53/54 ones when I got off on one the other day I almost walked straight into the mirror. It's like almost halfway over the door closest to the windscreen.
