Where will the bendy buses go?
If Boris does get his way and boot all the bendies out of london where
would they go? Theres a lot of them, they can't be sold off in europe because they're RHD, they're far too new to scrap and they're really only suitable for a city enviroment. Are there any other cities that they could be effectively used in? B2003 |

Thanks for that - shame the cab isn't too - then they could get work in Europe! ;o) -- Andrew |

I don't know of Arriva running any outside london, but Go-Ahead definitely use them between Gateshead and the Metrocentre and IIRR at Heathrow with their Menzies subsidiary, |
