End of the road for Hydrogen fleet.
Could they not send them back to Wrightbus and have them rebuilt to Electric Specification which is what Liverpool are doing with Alexander Dennis and there failed Hydrogen Fleet.
Another failure for First Aberdeen/Aberdeen Council after the Van Hool A330's.

Wrightbus offer that for their diesel streetdecks. Maybe the Bamfords investment in hydrogen might be a sticking point for them to offer conversions to electric.

SV26 OFG is the first Wright Electroliner GB Kite to appear for Lothian Buses who have an order in place to replace the Volvo 7900H's/Volvo B7RLE's
This is also Lothians first order from Wrightbus in 9 Years after the failure of the Wright StreetAir in 2017.

8 years - the last Wright-bodied B5TLs were delivered in 2018, all of which are now with East Coast Buses (1051-64 and 511-518, originally 20001-20008).
