They won't last long in service just like little nipper and the bendibus!

Little Nipper drivers were more interested in waving at each other while driving, no wonder they scrapped the nippers

 

Nippers were never on time, always late and often hunted in packs of at least 3, seeking out unhappy passengers that had been waiting 1 hour for a nipper that was suppose to be 1 every 10 minutes then 3 would turn up

One thing I find (unsurprising) about this is that there is no information on the TSY site regarding the SC2 service. It must be available, bustimes have published a timetable, but although it is supposed to be operational in a fortnight, there is nary a mention on TSY.

It will be fun getting round millsands on that at tea time rush hour.

There was no real mention on there of Supertram’s changes until it actually changed over on Friday.

 

I wouldn’t expect to see anything about SC2 until the 8th.

That is incredibly quick charging!

They're using Ultra-fast charger. Around 450kW.

 

A typical kettle is 2.5kW. 

 

So to charge one bus it's like boiling 180 kettles for 3hrs continously. I've taken the .5 off for the charge entropy toward the end of the cycle 

 

There are 4 of them. 

 

Most electric vehicles are charged overnight, when there's no sun so explain to me how these 'green' buses are green.

I  find that not unsurprising, but strange all the same. Other operators seem to advise well in advance of changes - even TSY themselves post notifications of service changes - by other operators - at least a couple of weeks in advance.
