(31 Jan 2023, 6:04 am)Michael Sure GNE etc will investigate, but they can't just take every Versa off the road, until an investigation is done, plus GNE don't have the buses to replace them.They will probably re instate one of the ex Quay City versa's as a replacement.

(31 Jan 2023, 5:53 am)Michael Why? Because a few have set themselves on fire?If there's any make of cars that should be pulled of the cars, it's Tesla's. But that's a completely different kettle of fish.
Do you think the same for car companies?
Should Ford pull every Ford Model off the road, because of a few car fires?, same as Nissan, Honda etc

(31 Jan 2023, 9:00 pm)Dan 5327 has been withdrawn. It should have been withdrawn back in November last year when GNE lost the contract to operate scholars service 889 to Park View.Deptford only has the 60/X20 as temporarily reduced. Which are more than likely staying reduced.
5334-36 are due to be mothballed as soon as possible (likely to be when 5386-88 are repainted and return to service at Riverside). Note they aren’t being withdrawn as they may be required to be reinstated if GNE wins additional contracts or reinstates the frequency of some of the temporarily reduced services.
5388 has now been repainted into fleet livery and is undergoing preparation for service at Riverside.

Here's a shock reverlation, maybe there was nothing wrong with the bus and the fire was caused by third party equipment such as a ticket machine or maybe someone mobile phone / laptop battery going faulty and causing a fire, and when those kind of batteries do go, they do go in spectacular fashion.

(01 Feb 2023, 6:21 am)NEbushopper I agree with this one and that is what I thought when it happend.Weren't the Citaro fires caused by third party equipment rather than a Mercedes part?

IIRC the Citaro fires, particularly the bendy bus versions in London were something to do with the fuel hose splitting and spraying diesel all over.
Thing is (and this may sound daft) but any vehicle can have a fire from the minute it rolls out the factory, but the older a vehicle gets, then there is a greater CHANCE of it catching fire, it could be 1 factor, 3 factors, or 10 factors and/or more as to why 8330 went up in smoke, look at 8303, that was 8 year old when that caught fire, 8330 would of been 12 this year
