I've just been reading on Steven Knight Media that Stagecoach at Cambridge will only be having the two electric deckers they recently took into stock because the National Grid are unable to cater for any more !

I remember Harrogate Bus having problems with their 8 Volvo saloons because charging them at the Bus Station severely compromised the electricity supply to Town Centre businesses. They ended up generating their own supply - with a diesel generator. Green my derriere !

We're dashing headlong into this, and it'll end in tears. I completed an AA survey on electric cars yesterday. One of the questions was "what would persuade you to buy an electric car ?". My response was that I would rather have my toenails pulled out with pliers and no anaesthetic than even consider it.

Of course we'd all love cleaner air, but rushing into it like we are doing is doomed to failure.
