A fleet of electric buses has been fitted with new technology that allows train-style pantographs to deliver rapid charges to keep them running through the day.
The 18 double deckers on route 132 call in to Bexleyheath bus garage for a 10-minute top-up – delivered by the metal arm-like device that descends to connect with a power receiver on the bus roof – to boost the conventional “slow” charge received overnight.
