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.

There are plenty of photos of Citaros on the continent going up in
flames.

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 incident was caused by a car driving into the engine thus causing
the fire. The fire was contained within the engine compartment and did
not engulf the whole vehicle.

I don't believe we are talking about the same problem as previously
hence remarks about maintenance are not applicable.
