Buses in Cardiff September 2024

[@Madonsteamrailways]

Lovely city, our Cardiff!! There are many more beautiful buildings than in most other British cities!! My favourite of them in some sort of order are: Cardiff, St David’s, Edinburgh, Glasgow and, at the end of the list, poor old polluted old London!!

Cardiff Transport are certainly using some very attractive buses in their city!! The only thing I have against them is that they’re not all electric!!

Electric buses are still in the early stages. The grid will struggle if every bus goes electric too quickly. The infrastructure just isn't there yet

[@Madonsteamrailways]

The diesel in the double deckers in Cardiff is causing more problems than changing the fleet from diesel to electric. In fact, the change should take place because as a nation, we’re supposed to be preparing for fossil fuel free transport in time for 2030!!

Fossil fuel free won't happen by 2030. The technology simply isn't there for hgv and long distance psv work. Maybe for new cars by 2035, but certainly not entirely by then.

And no, it’s NOT that we all want the appropriate legislation to go through as much as it WILL go through!! Petrol and diesel will be stopped from being sold for use in vehicles and only electric vehicles will be available.

I don't think electric will be the only option. It's not great for long distance hgv or psv work, as an EV owner, they are great for around towns / cities, but not good on a long run.
