Btw there seems to be something very wrong with the Yutongs across the board, seems that the vast majority of them have been pulled tonight for some reason including all of them on the 53/54. Wonder if there's issues with the chargers? It wouldn't be a surprise as everything else seems to be broken lately. I was going to say cold weather but they're all out in Inverness so that puts that out the equation.

Mileages were once balanced between Yutong boards at Riverside, ensuring all were roughly the same mileage so that they didn’t run out of charge.

I am told that is no longer the case, with discrepancies in how many miles each bus operates. This could be in a bid to improve driver efficiency, at the expense of running the correct vehicle type.

At this time of year, charge is degrading more rapidly because more electric is being used to keep the buses warm.

Pair both together, and that’s why school buses operate the 53/54 and Q3 most of the time on evenings.
