‘Scene at EUROBUS EXPO 2022 /9 on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

 

At the end of EUROBUS EXPO 2019, I said in my closing blog;

 

     “All being well, I will be back at the NEC next year”.

 

We all now know that due to the Covid 19 pandemic the years 2020 and 2021 would not see the annual Busfest at the NEC .

 

However, I am pleased to say that it is back with a bang this year.

 

This, then, is the ninth of a series of blogs where I pick out what caught my eye at 2022’s show.

 

YUTONG, the Chinese manufacturer has taken the UK market by storm in the last year or so.

 

Their electric powered vehicles being available in both bus and coach form.

‘Scene’ in Edinburgh by Peter Rose Coaches 2 on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

Peter, a friend of many years standing, was in Edinburgh on holiday recently and has forwarded these images for me to share with you.

 

As usual, they appear with his consent and my thanks.

 

Many images in this selection were captured on Princes Street which is shared with other forms of transport including Edinburgh’s trams.

 

The track of which can be observed beneath some of the coaches.

YUTONG TCe12

on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

 

The TCe12 is the first full electric zero emission coach to be offered in the UK  by any manufacturer and this example is 1 of only 2 that were imported into the UK in 2021 by ‘Ember Core’ for use on their Dundee-Edinburgh service.

 

‘Buses’ magazine for June 2022 on page 12 carries an interesting piece on ‘Ember Core’s plans for the companies future development.

 

Worth a read.

Possibly a coup for Peter in that this seems to be the Scottish rugby team’s team coach or is it just a very good all over advertisement ??
