| Schaffhausen: Battery bus instead of trolleybus filed on: 10.08.2020 (10th Aug 2020) Schaffhausen's trolleybus system has been endangered before. But now it seems that conventional trolleybus operation will soon be a thing of the past. The trolleybus fleet has recveived similar modifications to the Zürich fleet with larger batteries permitting a greater range of autonomous operation. This has permitted sections of the overhead lines to be removed. Furthermore, the city has (following the trial of a demonstrator, and a vote last November) ordered 15 all-battery buses from Irizar. I understand these are not intended as direct replacements for the trolleybuses, but will displace diesel buses on other routes. But it probably also seals the longer term fate of trolleybus operations. source: bahnforum.ch
