Although significant numbers of battery-electric buses have been delivered in recent months their entry into service has been delayed pending commissioning of charging infrastructure. London Sovereign's BYD/Alexander Dennis Enviro400EVs finally began to enter service on route 125 (Colindale -Winchmore Hill) from Edgware garage in late October, some nine months after the start of a new contract. London United has been using two BYD/Alexander Dennis Enviro200EVs, charged from temporary equipment, on route 235 (Sunbury Village - Brentford Great West Quarter) operated by Hounslow Heath garage. The remainder of the buses intended for this route have been temporarily re-allocated to Fulwell and Shepherd Bush garages for use on routes 33 (Fulwell - Hammersmith) and 72 (East Acton - Hammersmith) respectively. Go-Ahead London's latest BYD/ Alexander Dennis Enviro400EVs began to enter service from December 13 on routes 264 (Tooting Broadway - West Croydon) and 119 (Croydon Colonnades - Bromley North). The buses operate from Metrobus' Croydon garage. |
