Do they know the cause of the fires or is it still being looked at as its getting as bad as the bendybus saga. |

Joking apart, I am somewhat surprised that the Authorities, ain't taking a much closer look into the causes of all these bus fires. |

Are there any other green 60-plates elsewhere in the group? If they aren't having a similar spate of fires it maybe contained to the Manchester batch. |

Also, whilst the original 10/60 batch seem to be most prone, don't forget that 13 reg 12214 is the only one to have been so badly damaged it had to be scrapped. iirc, 12199 has also suffered a fire, but that might have been arson. One of Reading's 60 plates caught fire a couple of months ago: Reading 203 fire _______________ Formerly MX59 JZJ |

Small, high revving engines running at hotter temperatures creates more heat. Basic physics really and now we're on Euro 6. |
