trial but there's only 1 bus at present. These buses are designed to
run 80% of the time on electric power with the small diesel just as
back up.

I hope that trial is a big success because the 69 bus plods along
Leyton High Road; the Leyton High Road ruined by Waltham
Forest Council and TfL. It used to be a good road with minimal
congestion and minimal air pollution, and the 69 buses cruised along
smoothly. Not now! Many thanks TfL. Many thanks WFBC.
