York is a notoriously flood-prone place and these wagons under-performed in a big way, restricting themselves to cricketing weather.

Two electric bin lorries bought by City of York Council in a bid to cut carbon emissions were unable to operate when it rained, it has emerged.
Rain caused the wagons to be taken off the city’s roads for up to 26 days a month several times last year, reports BBC News.
The vehicles stopped working for a combined total of 481 days between January 2021 and November 2022.
