There was this from the WA trial, Ray. It does not sound like an absolute
failure:
>QUOTE:The three EcoBuses performed beyond expectations and at the conclusion
of the trial had
travelled approximately 258,000km, consumed over 46 tonnes of hydrogen and
carried over 320,000 passengers. 300 tonnes of tailpipe carbon emissions
were avoided by not operating conventional diesel buses.
The EcoBus trial received a number of awards including the 2005 Banksia
Award for Government Leading by Example, the 2004 Chartered Institute of
Logistics and Transport Outstanding Achievement Award and the 2004
Sustainable Transport Coalition Government Innovation Award. UNQUOTE<

Cheers,
