Sorry for the tabloid headline !

08.45 Saturday . . . .Reports of a bendy bus going up in smoke at
Victoria bus ststaion - the one at the front of the station, not the
coach station (er obviously - but you see what I mean) London
Underground services running through but not calling - NR station open
with front entrances, not surprisingly, closed.

Given Boris's hatred for Bendies, shouldn't they be called Ken's
Bendies?

I think Kendy Bus would sum it up well but it's a bit late now to make that
one stick. It's telling that this is one of the few policies where
Livingstone is not now promising a return to 2008.

Meanwhile, the BBC are reporting that Saturday's fire might've been
arson:

My apologies for the spelling, To the other paul, there was supposed
to be some irony in my Bor(r)is quote. I am a great fan of the whole
its "my" (Bor(r)is' overground when it was Kens idea and a succces and
its Kens Bendies when they are useless.

Ho hum............

The report I recieved was the flames were high, the fire brigade
attended and tha the bus station remains closed for removal of the
remains. The LUL station opened 50 minutes after my original post. I
am fully aware that the sensationalist world we live in could mean
there is simply some scalding on a panel somewhere.?

The short bit of film I saw on the news suggested a bit more than a bit of
smoldering, lots of black and grey smoke shooting upwards in that vigorous
way that suggests quite a jolly bonfire underneath.

Given that Citaros are used in very large numbers throughout Germany,
you'd think this sort of thing would have been ironed out. Has the
modification for right-hand drive perhaps put something hot next to
something flammable that isn't the case in the normal LHD model?
