RE: Successful Hydrogen Bus Grant for Merseyside
Managed to get to Mann Island just before it departed and got a few shots, here is SN15LRU departing, presume back to Gillmoss..... http://www.flickr.com/photos/dmc1947/32493971177 HTH https://www.flickr.com/photos/dmc1947/ |

Apologies for being picky, but your photo shows SN15 LRU heading toward the river - possibly to turn round at the roundabout by the Museum of Liverpool. Great photo though. |

If I'm not mistaken Liverpool will be the first city in the UK to have hybrid, gas, electric and hydrogen buses |

Here is further information about this, they are a joint venture between ADL (sorry thought like Aberdeen they would be Wrightbus, but yes they are ADL), and BOC with operations by both Stagecoach and Arriva, so maybe this demonstrator will go to Arriva for a while as well, the refuelling station will be built at the BOC plant in St Helens, and the next stage is a trial in 2020, so still some way off, by which time the ADL decker will perhaps of been revised again:- https://lbndaily.co.uk/fleet-zero-carbon...ty-region/ |

Might be a daft thing to ask but that Hydrogen Enviro400 is just doing test runs and not running in service right? Also is it likely to be out/about on Saturday? Thanks. |

Reading the article it would appear that all of these vehicles will be refuelled at the BOC plant in St Helens. I wonder if an out-station will be set up on the site for specialised maintenance of these vehicles' engines etc. |
