Has anyone seen todays DVSA recall on certain Electric The DVSA have issued an emergency bulletin affecting 1,758 buses on UK roads, including more than 600 in London and a further 100 in Manchester. Nearly 2,000 electric buses worth £800m face urgent recall over fears they could burst into flames.
Alexander Dennis BYD AD Enviro 400 2023. Relating to the Hispacold HVAC system. Recall number R/2024/027
Wonder what implications this will have on operators. Seems a serious major recall.
With these new services (starting on Sat 17 Feb 24) operating under the Bee Network banner, the actual operators don't appear to be shown, except for a few in N&P.
Any further info on who is actually operating the routes would be appreciated.

I just found this counter-proposal for the Cheshire East bus review which ended up with the 27, 88, 188 and 289 merged in to one reduced frequency contract and the 200 withdrawn. I understand at least some councillors were in favour of the counter-proposal.
It's amazing to think it was actually a half-way house between the old service level and the current service level. And how an overall service cut could have been used to improve through journey opportunities.
I wonder how much more patronage there would have been if it had gone ahead.
Understandably very quiet due to the holiday period.

With 'The Open' 2023 at Hoylake nearly upon us, it's probably worth having a thread just for it.
Stagecoach will be doing the park & ride shuttles as usual however as none of the new Birkenhead/Preston vehicles have appeared yet (I believe that plan was to use those....), I would assume Gillmoss/Rock Ferry vehicles will be used, unless anything is getting loaned.....
3 of brand new Iveco Ilesbuses are due here by the end of this month. The Ilesbus demonstrator RV22 DMY was on a test/demonstration run today in Caernarfon this afternoon.
