I'm not sure how long it takes to charge would of been a consideration as to where to store them anyway. This incident does seem to show they need to evaluate how they are stored though, even if just better security. Irrespective of the charging time, storing £1/2m of vehicles in an insecure location is, I would imagine, an insurers no-no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he does. He’s a politician and he wants to be re-elected. He’ll be judged on what is delivered (or not) under his leadership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have to ask them that but the question was surely asked when the insurance was sorted out as to where they were stored overnight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume it was, and somewhere earlier in this thread @SheffieldForumquoted a TSY/SYMCA source as saying it would be at Brightside - they were obviously lying/misinformed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. This is the question for me. Why weren’t the buses stored at Brightside, like TSY stated they would be? Might be an awkward question to ask a few contacts when the furore dies down.

I could be wrong but I thought he said it was a staff member at the interchange or something like that rather than TSY/SYMCA. It wouldn't have to be someone high up that would of dealt with the insurance so not sure how accurate @SheffieldForum information, might of been more hearsay.

I think @NERVY-OWL has answered that - the Brightside yard is not big enough to store 4 x 36' vehicles in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollingJ Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 To add - would it not be an idea to ask whilst the debacle is still fresh in their minds? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt anyone would risk voiding any insurance by not parking them in the place the insurance expect them to be put either. I'm sure many questions will be asked when it's died down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
