There is Wright Streetdeck micro hybrid demonstrator here that arrived on Monday evening. No word how long it will be here for. Assuming 4 weeks like the last one.

Some off the new buses have entered service as from today. I was driving 107 & 253. Other new ones I spotted on the road were 105 which is being based at Ramsey. 108, 106, 251 was out also.

Was on 252 I believe earlier, had that amazing new bus smell. Love the white LED stop sign inside + the fact that there is a full window to the left at the front makes it all feel so much bigger in my opinion.
Hope the 44 gets more of these hehe

The 44 is scheduled to be a double decker everyday on the duty cards but if they are short of double deckers, they will put a single on and try fit everyone on it

Mercedes Benz catches fire on Douglas Promenade - hopefully not a new one!

Are these Mercedes Citaros more prone to engine fires than other makes? TfL had issues with them - one was actually burnt out while on delivery - and Arriva cited them as the reason for pulling out of Malta. The climate of these two islands is hardly similar so it can't be down to that.
