‘PB is our third largest garage in London and will be our second fully zero emission capable garage before Christmas this year, able to host 155 electric buses.’

The engineering manager at PB has also weighed in with a comment to all W8 drivers, expressing the wish that they all get their type training quickly, as his department is expecting to start receiving the long awaited fleet of BDEs from next week.

[bright tinsel]

A isn't even fully EV anyway

the first fully EV garage was RA

[chilly stag]

erm but RA isn't fully ev rn and A is

[bright tinsel]

A isn't

😭

its still got WHVs

[chilly stag]

those are based at GM

[bright tinsel]

that stopped ages ago

they do the 151 asw they cant be

[chilly stag]

they visit A sometimes for maintenance

but there wasnt room when S2 spawned in

[bright tinsel]

well ngl considering they do the 151 thats enough for me to say A isnt fully ev

cuz 151 is fully A

[chilly stag]

alrighty

[indigo glacier]

store buses

for other garages
