A common problem with bus electrification projects is delays installing the charging infrastructure.

Right now, there will be many dozens of brand new (and very expensive) electric buses sat idle across the country waiting for chargers to be installed in depots.

Several vehicles earmarked for disposal will return to/remain in service with Stagecoach East Midlands. In the coming weeks E400s 19014/72/75 will go to Mansfield, 19018 to Gainsborough, 19013/64 to Worksop and 19126 to Grimsby. Volvo B7RLEs 21256/60/66 to return to service at Grimsby

In case you can't tell what just happened, JK Rowling instructed her followers to take photos of anyone in a women's restroom who doesn't match their idea of Western feminine beauty standards. Short hair? Thick cheekbones/jaw? Too tall or broad-shouldered? You're now "a man" and will be harassed.
