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.
