The hydrogen buses work perfectly well in Glasgow, must be something to do being nearer the equator.
They are hiding behind their own incompetence as they ordered buses but no contracts to supply hydrogen. So the hydrogen station they planned to use has not had any for a few years now.
Hopefully this time they will order charging points with the buses.

So you think it could have been successful if they had just ordered some hydrogen? Wasn’t it a partnership with BP as the supplier?They are hiding behind their own incompetence as they ordered buses but no contracts to supply hydrogen.

EV buses seem to be the norm now near us. Leicester and Nottingham have both had a significant portion of their fleet as EV for a while now, and I noticed recently that both Arriva and Kinch bus companies in Loughborough seem to have fully switched over to EV now too. Whole load of 25 plate ones. No need for anything else for these town and city bus routes.

There are no hydrogen buses in Glasgow, plenty of battery electric though.They are hiding behind their own incompetence as they ordered buses but no contracts to supply hydrogen. So the hydrogen station they planned to use has not had any for a few years now.

Might be talking about the 7 million spent on 20 hydrogen bin lorries.
Glasgow council £7 million contract to buy hydrogen powered trucks cancelled - Glasgow Live https://share.google/rKFv3KA3fDLfNrlQQ
Aberdeen has previous history with hydrogen buses. There was a fleet of very expensive three axle single deckers in 2014 which ran sporadically for a couple of years before mothballing and eventual scrapping.
I'm not sure if hydrogen is ever going to take off (dreadful pun intended).

Glasgow bin trucks are going to remain diesel I believe, as trails suggest that EV ones are not good for hilly areas.
Either way all very expensive.

The bus depot near me has plenty of charging points just not the electric to supply them, well, they have from very large diesel generators.They are hiding behind their own incompetence as they ordered buses but no contracts to supply hydrogen.

Expensive indeed, one new BYD got 10 yards out and destroyed itself. A pile of ash and molten metal.

Unfortunately the same breed of clowns that don't understand the term "due diligence" and happy spend millions of someone else's money. Aberdeen council tax is up 10% for the 2nd year running.
The law says 5% or just under I think actually, is the maximum a council can raise council tax. Anything above requires a referendum. Labour have given dispensation for to ignore the referendum.
Most Labour councils have done just that and I think 10% will become the norm.
