It is KX15 BLZ and will be used on the Cathedral Bus services in Durham. They are the permanent replacements to the electric solos and will transfer from operator to operator as the contract moves operators. Another 2 are to follow.
KX15 BLZ is on hire from Dawson's only while a solution is sort to the problems with the 3 electric solos.
no confirmation yet as to if the EV's will be upgraded or replaced with new model EV's or other low emission vehicles.
3 charging points were very much on the wall at 9am this morning
