I suspect that they will be recycled. Swansea has had a number of
second-hand bendy buses imposed upon it - no idea where they came
from. thjey all have personalised number plates to hide the fact from
the morons in the council that they are rejects.
They were initially planned torun as far as Mumbles, but then it was
discovered that it was impossible for them to turn around to make the
return journey!


Then I'd call that a proposal rather than a plan.


No, it was a plan - the council wanted something to replace the
Mumbles Railway and came up with a bendybus route to the village.


Surely the solution is clear: fit the bendybuses with a driving position
at each end, guided by flanged wheels on a steel bar (or two) of some
sort ?
