Nottingham City Transport (NCT) issued an alert to passengers at 07.59am this morning, warning them to expect disruption on a number of routes served by electric vehicles.

Borough services affected are:

39, 50, 53, 53B, 54, 54B and 61

An NCT spokesman said: “An overnight software update to our electric buses has failed, which has prevented some buses from entering service.

“The vehicle manufacturer is working with us to resolve the issue and has fixed the glitch on around half of them, which are now leaving the garage to start service.

“There will be cancellations and delays on these service until all buses are in service and the issue fully resolved. Thanks for your understanding and sorry for the inconvenience caused.
