The first 10 are fully built, and are undergoing type certification as they are the first of their kind ever built Unfortunately due to delays with the certification, the deliveries have been delayed until late February, but the other half of the order will be commencing build soon and should be delivered in March as planned I can’t give an exact date for entry into service sadly, but sometime before the summer fingers crossed! Any idea what fleet numbers they’ll carry? 60** fleet number Here is a photo of one of the new hydrogen buses Not my photo BTW www.flickr.com/photos/70333100@N08/52721048556/in/feed-70240287-1677754111-1-72157721659935357#

The Fleet list on the Brighton and Hove website now have details of the registrations along with pictures of 6052 and 6053 which have now been delivered. They are due to start entering service this month. Does anyone know if the plan for some of the displaced Volvos to move to Brighton is still happening?

When I went past Crawley depot on a train today, there were 3 Hydrogen buses, I assume two of them were 6052 & 6053 as the B&H fleet list shows that they were delivered on 3rd & 4th April 2023 history.buses.co.uk/history/currentfleet/welcome.htm but does anyone know which the third one was as the fleetlist was last updated on 11/04/2023? Many thanks

The first hydrogen bus (6052) has entered service in route 10 today - for the spotters amongst you it will be out in the road until about half 6 tonight coming off of service at Bewbush.

6054 enters service today. I noticed that is was on the 233. Is this a ticket machine clash or legit?

6776 has had a gearbox replacement to ZF gearbox. I thought that was only a trial for a few Enviros?
