Have Go Ahead officially stated that anywhere? No but I believe further electric charging points are being fitted at NP which would lead to me think they'll go there even if it's a very odd choice of routes to pick from. Also very odd this sudden outlay on buses that are still relatively unproven. Correct. Work has commenced on 60 new charging spaces and a new substation. It hasn't been officially state anywhere, however the GM has not been quiet about it. These electrics are definitely headed to NP

- E138 is back in service after 8 months out due to its crash.
Go Ahead seem to be really ahead with their refurbishments now. They have whizzed through their refurbishment list in the past few months leaving only the 22, 101 and 129 left to start and routes 436 and 493 currently in progress. They also appear to be starting refurbishments for next years new contracts early so they do not fall behind.

With the EH's on the 15 today did it causes any issues with other double decker allocations? especially around school times? I noticed the 5 had a high number of early E400s as a result.

I wonder what’s made GAL all of a sudden use minimal double deckers on the 396. On that subject I wonder if SE119 will ever make its way to RR to fully complete its allocation (did it ever get refurbished for the 396?).🤔

I doubt it’ll come to RR, looks like the 396 is working as it did under Stagecoach with a DD spare.

With the 15 using a handful of EHs, the 5 is using 6 E400s, the school routes have nabbed 3 WVLs from the 5 and 6 E400s from the 147 which has forced the 147 to take 2 buses from the 104 plus a school route 57 reg which are rarely seen on the 147. The 104 appears to be running fine currently but there aren’t any blinded E400s to cover for it if anything goes wrong.

Full E allocation on the 396 today, it’s SEs aren’t being used on the 364 either.
