Quote from: Bus 400 on February 07, 2024, 12:33:17 AMFor those that remember, wasn't it 2 years of similar vague excuses for the first electric buses ACTION (back then) were going to trial with some new company out of Victoria. Contact was torn up by ACTION eventually.I believe that was the "Matilda" bus which never really eventuated.
I haven't looked at this contract. But I assume the usual payment penalties apply for this contract.

I look forward to what he will announce this time.Well that was disappointing. Absolutely no reference to why the promised "nine by the end of 2023" was not met. Just a repeat of supply chain problems, difficulty in sourcing parts and skilled labour.
Quote from: Snorzac on January 24, 2024, 12:34:23 AMI think at this stage it is potentially a wider issue with the CD Element II as a whole rather than anything directly related to TC, haven't heard of any operators putting the element II into service as of yet despite many deliveriesBased on delivery data, so far Custom Denning have delivered these Element 2s - 4 to Transport Canberra, 4 to Metro Tasmania and 7 to Transport for NSW.
