I can confirm Brixtons EAs and ESs are being charged up at Go-Ahead Camberwell Interesting. I wonder if Go-Ahead are charging Arriva a fee for use of its charging equipment or an act of goodwill? Love the play on words It's a sorry state of affairs if Electric is really seen as the way forward. What if power supplies in garages fail, rendering a whole fleet unavailable to provide a service? Arriva don't have the best of luck with electrics compared to other operators (aside from Optare fires at GAL and Metroline, but Optare stuff is... you know)

Rest assured they’ll be charging a fee. Why would you do it for free for a non group company and a competitor?

I think some of the ex 242s HVs have arrived at WN and BN. Seems like W3 will most likely get HVs.

A bit of an update on TH, they are currently digging up and connecting a lose connection next to the garage. Once they finish this, they will then put the generator in. That is why there is a huge hole still at the front of the garage.

I have a question. How comes the 307 ESs haven't been on other routes like the 279, given its eventually getting its ES soon plus will solve the type training issue quicker.

I can confirm Brixtons EAs and ESs are being charged up at Go-Ahead Camberwell I know incidents like this are rare but does make you wonder what will happen in the future as more and more routes go electric! I've worked at garages where the power supply to the fuel guns packs up and no buses could be fuelled. It happens and you work around it.

Oh nice, sorry I'm just going by what other drivers are calling it in the garage lol

I've worked at garages where the power supply to the fuel guns packs up and no buses could be fuelled. It happens and you work around it. The crazy part was in september 2021, there was fuel issues. This is a RARE thing aswell that Brixton have issues with electric charging.
