Moving this link from the electric bus thread to the hydrogen bus thread
www.getsurrey.co.uk/news/surrey-news/epsom-ewell-council-climate-change-17624891
Ever since the hydrogen airship exploded, people have been worried about hydrogen. Yes, the hydrogen is compressed and flammable, but now there are means of dealing with this and any hydrogen plant or bus can be made properly safe. Even in the worst case of a severe accident causing puncturing of the hydrogen cylinder, this can be handled I believe with special pressure valves which prevent an explosion. Unfortunately one bad accident of yesteryear clouds matters, but is not representative of what would happen today as safety is now on an altogether different level.
As for comparing it to a nuclear accident with potential nuclear contamination and all that means, is nothing other than palpable nonsense.

Especially one caused by earthquake followed by a tsunami of which one of these doesn’t occur here and the other happens rarely and when it does, barely musters much above 3 on the Richter scale

I know during the Olympics hydrogen was prohibited from being stored at LI due to the close proximity to the Olympic Park. Probably just an absolute precaution.

Could possibly have been. It still shows a vulnerable perception of the fuel.

My guess is that the 245 and N7 are the other two. However it was mentioned the 245 is only there because it's a potential route for strays rather than having any actually allocated to it.

However the N7 is operated by PA. If the N7 was to move to PV would PA have enough room for all the routes it currently has?

I have a feeling it will probably be the 18 and possibly the 141 but who knows just a complete guess?

That's an interesting hope they have, I don't think the government will be very interested in giving Bamford a grant when they have other things to be spending their money on following this crisis.

Would new hydrogen buses be ordered for the 245? After the 7 receives its hydrogens, I can see the 245 getting new hydrogens for its next contract if its retained by Metroline
