These have been sat there deteriorating with no sign of hitting the road and the longer they stay parked up the more faults etc they will pick up due to there electric systems.
All the money spent on 20 buses plus infrastructure could of bought a lot more fully electric powered buses that could of covered more than one route and would all be on the road earning revenue.
This hydrogen project just seems to be going the same way as the trams for merseyside project , a big waste of money with nothing to show for it in the end.

I think a problem is that they could have worked, had fuel been available and the project was started back in 2018 when that wasn't expected to be a problem.

Agree 100% though that the longer the buses are sat out of use, the harder it will be to resurrect them at some point in the future as damp will get into them and cause issues over time.
