First Electric Bus Launch

First Bus and Norfolk County Council were inviting the public to look around Norwich's new zero-emissions double deck buses at The Forum earlier today.



The 'Meet The Bus' event is in advance of the vehicles going into service in the city over the coming weeks and is part of a wider project to fully electrify the operator's Roundtree Way depot, replacing its diesel fleet with 70 electric vehicles by March 2024.



The buses appearing at the launch event were 36531 BK73 AEV and 36542 BK73 AFU although no fleet numbers were displayed



My thanks to our regular Norwich contributor Dan High who attended the event and sent a few photos for publication

      So I heard they will be by multicolor destination displays e.g. Red Line would be Red Displays, Blue Line would have Destinations in Blue
