Have any of them actually completed a full duty yet on anything beyond a late runout? 

Are the Arriva 43/44/45 boards more realistic? From what I've heard the BYD has been getting some decent numbers when on driver training.

Yeah my thoughts aswell;

Btw on the Arriva was having a look at the 43/44/45 and the top boards seem to be around 170-180 mile mark but the BYD's also have a bigger battery aswell I believe extra 10% or so, so seems doable. 

Had a little look at what was happening on vehicles which are in service aswell, as I was curious, and the Sunderland and Stockton Yutongs, plus the ADL E400 at Blyth seem to be getting around 170 - 180 miles on average aswell so on par with the Streetdeck example above. The E1/E2/E6 is noticeable Diesel recently in the evening and Stockton are swapping things around, ie doing 36/37/38 during the day and then one doing the 59 during the day is being pulled onto it to complete the run. Obviously not an option GNE have there though.

I don't believe there's any interurban route which have the same electric bus from morning to night, excluding the 36 which has top up charging in Harrogate? Happy to be corrected though.
