Why *is* London having so much trouble with these things? I never
heard of major problems with Citaros (admittedly not the bendy
variety) in either Hamburg or Manchester, where there are
significant numbers of them.

Are they not being maintained correctly, or is there a specific
design fault in the bendy variety that hasn't been fixed yet? (I
thought, like other posters, that it had).


This seems to be a rather minor fire. The previous fires completely
destroyed the buses, this one seems to have been nowhere near as
serious because no damage was done to the passenger compartment.
