Imagine it'll be ran by Hydrogen buses at some point when petrol is banned. It'll likely be the fuel choice for most buses anyway as when you have the kit for Hydrogen for your one long bus route; X9/X10 (Riverside), X21 (CLS), X1 (Washington), X84/X85 (Hexham), X20 (Deptford) then why the hell not just do the rest since it's got the potential to be much simpler.
Electric buses are just a gimmick and won't last up here long term imo but I could be wrong (see gas buses at Darlington and Sunderland which were pretty much a failure).
