Electric Buses/new orders

RE: Electric Buses/new orders
I don't know whether there's any of the Angel electrics in the North East yet, but there's currently 2 on the way right now. Just passed them on the A1(M) near Catterick.

Appear to be on their own fuel aswell, if anyone is around and wanting photos. Assume they'll be at Riverside at roughly 2pm'ish.

Two arrived yesterday - 6804 and 6811. They are indeed travelling up under their own power - the pair yesterday visited First's Leeds Bramley depot for a top-up charge on their way north, no doubt the same has happened today.

Any photos?

Good to see priority seats marked too on the lower saloon (contrasting headrests visible).

The wing mirrors are temporary apparently, camera mirrors to be fitted later.

Believe the two grey squares next to the mirror arm bear some relevance to that

Oh not the god awful blue interior, I thought we left that after the introduction of XLines.

Could be for 60s maybe, but 20s have just had a livery update in the last 2 years.

Washington(X1) and Riverside (unknown as of now)

They'll probably wait for them to be all delivered first I'd imagine?
