To be fair, the bigger problem is the lack of any charging facilities. I'd doubt that the Quaylink ones will be operational after being out of use for well over a decade. The BSIP funding usually funds them aswell and they won't be funding any at Walkergate.
Either way they need to upgrade Slatyford at some point anyway as Diesel buses will become obsolete at some point so kicking the can down the road won't help anyone.
