I’m in Warsaw at the moment (I’ve never been to Poland before) and am
surprised about the huge number of electric bendy buses in service. They
have what appears to be a retracted pantograph assembly on the roof. A bit
of reading reveals there are high speed charging points at the end of the
routes. So no need for any of this complicated under road induction
charging stuff, just a simple solution. They’ve also got a fleet of
compressed natural gas buses. Perhaps they might be tricky to fuel soon.

I think they have had those busses for some time. I'm not sure what age they
actually are though, maybe not state of the art.

roof in Manchester. They weren't all over the city. The ones I
remember were around Stevenson square.

They are very much state of the art. A couple of years old.
