Also gaining Yutongs will be Go North East. I therefore wonder whether GA London will order Yutongs for route 444? If not, GAL can say to GNE "Yutong if you want to"!

There is electric bus strategy update in latest Board papers (page 123-124) Conversion of 9000 buses Feasibility of electrication of 76 garages 12 new substations 6100 chargers 750 new bus stabling (parking) spaces content.tfl.gov.uk/sshr-panel-10-july-2019-agenda-and-papers.pdfAim is to have fully zero emission fleet by 2037

A Yutong electric single decker in full TfL livery has been spotted in Leeds Link Leeds Live I assume it is YT1

I have heard one particular base isn’t . Which begs the question what happens when this, and perhaps other bases affected, have single deck routes coming up for tender. Potentially the cost of this will be quite big and could lead to some reallocations, potentially route losses, gains, garage relocations,

Presumably every garage has spaces allocated to park buses. All you would need is a charging riser in the corner of all allocated parking spots that returned to ground level when not in use.

There may well be local infrastructure issues ... and imagine the 1st person to need the upgrades will get charged the whole bill ... depends how motivated TfL are to press ahead with electrification over financial constraints ... could we see a pseudo railway situation where electrification gets dumped over costs.

And therein lies the point. Can these garages not support electric buses because it is technically not feasible (at least currently), or for economic reasons, ie cost. I agree that the constraints are likely to be economic rather than technical. I would have thought that in the worst case there be a small loss of garage space meaning the garage could hold slightly fewer buses.

Potentially the cost of this will be quite big and could lead to some reallocations, potentially route losses, gains, garage relocations, I am guessing the 750 new bus stabling spaces covers this. Some garages might be reduced capacity, few replaced completely, hence 750 new parking spaces. No idea how many locations, but dozen sites of 60-90 buses doesn't sound unreasonable to me.

Regarding the suitability of bus garages for electric chargers SI springs to mind. Go ahead seem to have gone into the trouble of transferring the route to Q prior to its conversion, I wonder if SI is one of the garages that might require an alternative solution to electrics.

SI cannot 100% accomodate electrics, I think the only reason GAL transferred the 100 to Q is to save money by utilising existing electric charging points there for the 360.
