RE: Arriva North West - Green Lane Depot
The StreetAir facts = TfL specification 10.6m two door single deck StreetAir EV based on the StreetDeck chassis platform. It has a Siemens ELFA 2 electric drive system, Nickel Manganese Cobalt batteries and will spend a period on an evaluation project in Liverpool with Arriva before transferring to run for the same company in London. Range on an overnight charge is 200miles/18 hours. A new feature is an infra-red heating system. Passenger capacity is 72, 23 of them seated. The Yutongs have 27 seats/capacity 72 also, 1 is due January for 3 months trial before the rest arrive |

The London spec Yutong may have 27, however, the one arriva have on loan has much more than that as seen here: link (Credit: Yorkshire paperbuses & photos) |

Bit confused as an 8 to 'City Centre' was following the route of the 61/68 at Edge Lane Drive / The Rocket this afternoon, emerging from Broad Green Road and then heading south down Queens Drive towards Childwall Fiveways. |
