The first journey of the state-of-the-art fleet of hydrogen buses was launched with much fanfare, but after that things started to go wrong
On May 15 2023, the Liverpool City Region took what was described as a 'huge step forward' in its public transport revolution, or at least that was the hope. That date marked the first journey for a new fleet of state-of-the-art, publicly owned, zero-emission hydrogen buses that had been purchased by the region's Combined Authority the year before.
Commenting on our findings, Liverpool's Liberal Democrat leader Cllr Carl Cashman gave a withering verdict. He said: 'In an age where hydrogen supply depends on global factors it’s a pretty stupid move to try to bring in hydrogen buses. 'Decarbonising the bus network is essential but there’s better ways to do it, such as electric buses.
