Caught one of the new emission free busses on the 25 today. I thought
they were electric, and expected them to sound the same as a trolleybus;
but they sound just like a very quiet diesel engine, with very definite
gear changes. Can anyone explain what technology is used?


Just for info, the Fuel Cell buses are due to transfer to route RV1
from Monday, 06/09/2004, as part of the normal schedule rather than as
extras. They will operate on Mondays - Fridays, between approx. 0700
and 1500.

The timetable for these trips should appear on
www.firstlondontimetables.co.uk
by the end of the week.

Click on Timetables, select Routes R21 - W19, then select Route RV1
Fuel Cell. (The link is already there, but currently generates a 404 -
page not found error).
