Its been a three year wait for these impressive vehicles to arrive.
Finally on July 26th 2018, Transdev held an event for stake holders, business leaders, local council members, MPs and Northern powergrid employees. In an event celebrating the hard work in placing the request for OLEV funding, placing the order for eight Volvo 7900EVs and getting the infrastructure built and installed at Harrogate bus station.
As the event began, members of the public did stop and look and wonder around the new buses on display. After the private function was complete the invited guests were given a ride around town aboard one of the Volvo's, while the other two were returned back to the depot.
Here 801 is seen arriving after the event had finished as the traditional photos, with guest were taken. Following a sweeping finish, the buses were put to bed.
All the waits now is the connection of the electric supply to the bus station for the charging hubs. Which should be happening soon, then by mid August the new #HarrogateElectrics should be out to play.
A blog is being prepared as it will be published when the buses enter service.
Polite Notice.

Pylon on the edge of the canyon taking newly made Hydropower from the Shoshone Falls power station at the base of the falls. Twin Falls, Idaho. Happy Telegraph Tuesday!
After a major launch event on July 26th, for stake holders, Transdev and Volvo. In which three of the new Volvo's were placed on display near the Cenotaph in Harrogate. There was some good news announced over the weekend of 16/17th September 2018, some of the new electric buses would be out in service, from Monday September 17th.
Driver training took place during August 2018, as Transdev waited for Northern Powergrid to ensure the infrastructure installation at the bus station would work properly.
On August 18th, 801 was used as a display vehicle on Oxford Street, Harrogate. for the day.
On Monday September 17th 2018, 804 BV18XZD was used on the 2B Bachelor Gardens service. The Harrogate Bus Company announced this new during the previous evening on its Twitter and web pages.
For now the vehicles are running as pilot usage only. Which means they are only used on a selection of the local routes across the day, with one bus doing one of each route.
Here 801 BV18XZA is seen working the 07:55 Bilton Bachelor Gardens circular service back to Harrogate. On Tuesday September 18th, 2018, during the wet morning.

Happy Telegraph Tuesday!
The Full Moon of July 31, 2023 rising at the end of a long line of high tension towers across the prairie near Milo, Alberta. Some smoke in the air made the rising Moon even redder than normal, making it look like an eclipsed Moon. This night the alignment of the rising point of the Full Moon coincided with the angle of the powerlines off to the southeast at 135° azimuth.
This was the evening before the day of actual Full Moon, which ocurred at midday August 1, so the Moon the evening before was almost as full as it would be the next night, and the alignment was better this night. This was also a "supermoon," being a Full Moon close to lunar perigee.
This is a single exposure with the Canon RF7-200mm lens at 200mm anf f/4 on the Canon R5 at ISO 100. A mild soft focus effect added with Nik Collection 6 Color EFX.
One of my first nights out chasing the Aurora this season. I captured this after waiting about 3 1/2 hours in the cold damp night.... Enjoy...
I was out near my home in Hook, Hampshire, England, UK, intending to take pictures of a small local river, but my attention was drawn to the possibilities of this normally mundane electricity pylon instead!
I actually felt something on my face when I went under this high voltage grid structure. That's probably the electromagnetic field emitted from those live wires, which were carrying alternating current with a pressure of 33,000 volts.
That's going to be the last time I'd venture under these dangerous wires. Oh, the things I'd do just for Flickr! 😰
The first Scorpion-class battleship was launched only a couple of years ago, and those that have been built are considered to be prototypes. What has been garnered suggests that the Scorpion is crammed to the brink with sophisticated hi-tech equipment that few can match. This ship's design represents a radical turnaround in Caldari philosophy, particularly when compared to that of the regular Scorpion-class counterpart. Abandoning the concept of an electronic warfare platform, this vessel's creators instead set their sights on direct combat, with superior shielding and offensive capabilities giving this monster the undeniable upper hand in a vast range of tactical situations. This unique model represents a refit pirate version of a Navy issue Scorpion.

The aardehuizen in Olst were inspired by Earthships of architect Michael Reynolds. The first Earthships date back to the ‘70s and have been tested thoroughly by use. Discarded materials and local building materials determine the buildings. An earthship is designed for off-grid living.
Architect Michel Post of Orio Architecten has modified the design to meet Dutch conditions. (rains, temperature through the year and soil).
12 of the buildings have tire walls - filled with rammed earth - supporting the roof. The other 11 buildings are built with straw walls with a wood frame supporting the roof. The roofs are slanted 9º to catch a maximum of sun in winter and very little sun in summer.
Warmth
All buildings have a characteristic south-facing glass façade. Thermal mass is created by the tire walls and floors. Earthships in the Netherlands need to be optimally isolated. The Energy Performance Coefficientis (EPC) is zero to almost zero (with small variations among the houses, depending on materials uses). An earthship needs less extra heating than a conventional building. Extra heat is created by mass heaters, economic wooden stoves or heatpumps.
Most buildings use natural ventilation through lattices at the front and roof-windows at the back of the buildings.
Water
In Olst, groundwater is pumped and filtered to drinking water that meets safety regulations. We test the quality regularly.
Waste water filtered by a reed filter is released into surface waters.
Every households uses some sort of composting toilet system. This preserves thousands of liters of drinking water on a yearly basis. The compost keeps precious minerals at the local area and is used at the terrains.
The community building is connected to the regular sewage system.
Electricity
All PV-panels on the 23 houses and the community building supply ample electricity for all needs (est. yearly yield: 63.300 kWh). All buildings are connected to the powergrid, using it as a battery; on sunny days there is a surplus, on cloudy days we use the power-grid when needed. We are currently investigating possibilities to distribute the electricity surplus among ourselves.
The installations like PV-panels, hot water systems and reed bed filter were a costly investment. However, owners are faced with lower monthly fixed costs and this compensates for these investments.
Green
The slopes at the north side of aardehuizen, the green infrastructure and varied plants will make a gradual zone between village houses and fields. The green roofs have been sown with flowers and grasses, and seeds from the surroundings will gather as well. Edible plants will further add vitality to the area. By using half paved roads and natural paths we present an alternative to conventional hard material roads and contribute to water management. The modest street lights help protect the ecological value of darkness.
Learning from sustainable building
Building by ourselves was a conscious and positive choice. To this extent, we were helped by building coordinators who supervised quality since the beginning of building in 2011. As we acquired skills and experience we specialised in teams by 2013.
More than one thousand Dutch and international volunteers have come to learn (aspects of) building earthships. They often contributed greatly with their own skills.

Powerlines, towers, and pylons; these structures are called different names in different places. They carry electricity from the generating station to cities, towns & villages near & far. The repetition & symmetry of this industrial view is pleasant. You get a glimpse of the Napanee River at the end of the path. The field under the towers is still brown with last year's grass & weeds.
