`How on earth is the 243 going to be electic by August when Tottenham doesn't have the required chargers ? It will obviously continue with existing buses until the electrics are ready.

Does TC still have a charging facility despite not having any electric vehicles or did they keep it just in case they need it?

I would think the chargers are of the least worry. My concern would be is the power connection of sufficient quality to meet the modern power requirements, or will it need a new visit from UKPN.

Electroliners were being charge with them

`How on earth is the 243 going to be electic by August when Tottenham doesn't have the required chargers ? It won't be - the contract date isn't the same as the conversion date as has been seen on numerous occasions now. Yet Stamford Hill, on line of route is electriried. 243 could move there in the short term. Saw ES71 and one other on the M1 heading south past Luton this afternoon, I assume for 279

Saw ES71 and one other on the M1 heading south past Luton this afternoon, I assume for 279 Perhaps if the hybrids are needed at a faster route for either routes 150, 175, 329 etc. , then the 243 could operate from their if they have placed an order and electrics have been delivered. Until the actual buses arrive, I don't think anything will be done, and the routes that require the hybrids can last a bit longer with their current allocations!

Unfortunately, due to a truck accidentally hitting the shelter that will hold the generator for TH, there may be an even more delay to the electric buses entering service .

View AttachmentI didn’t know the number ‘64’ actually signified the amount of years it would take to convert to EVs from the beginning of the conversion!

View AttachmentIs it simply delayed because of the damage of the shelter only, or was there a generator there that has also been affected?
