Yeah, too hot to stay outside (that is why I took the photo in shadow...)

I am not trying to doubt you, but 604 on your photo says: Operated by (and I can not make out what it says) but please look at your original size photo and zoom into it and confirm the name.

I wonder if that's the same hydrogen bus I saw in some CT garage a few years ago. At the time, naturally since it was brand new technology, it was o/s more than it was in service.

I wonder if that's the only hydrogen bus and how relaible it is today.

It's not the same one. This is one of 4 buses recently delivered, identical to the 12 recent deliveries to AC Transit. Easily recognisable, as this one is an A300L-based bus, whereas the first one (the one you saw) was A330-based.

Was A26 operating on what was once known as the P1 from Hartford to New Britain? I can't believe they'd put a 35 foot bus on that line if so!
