'Trojan' just refers to the fact that it's an undercover bus. Fall Of Troy, the Trojan horse and all that. Beware Greeks Bearing Gifts, or smart buses with crime-busting technology and all that.  ;)

It was the Greeks who gave the Trojan horse to the Trojans. Technically, it wasn't a Trojan horse but a Greek horse. Hence the tag "Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes",which, you'll recall, is usually and somewhat inaccurately translated, "Beware Greeks bearing gifts."
The point is, just as the Trojan horse was Greek, what you call a Greek tag is, in fact, Latin. The Greeks wouldn't suggest bewaring of themselves, if one can use such a participle, and it's clearly Latin not because "Timeo" ends in "o", as the Greek first person also ends in "o". No, there is a Greek word "Timao" meaning "I honour", but the "os" ending is a nominative singular termination of a second declension in Greek and an accusative plural in Latin, though actually Danaos is not only the Greek for Greek, it's also the Latin for Greek.

It says in the article that 324 of these systems have been bought and all of Bordsley Garage buses have been fitted, any idea what other garages are likely to get them?

No point in fitting them to PE Mercs, don't want them ruined by smoke damage!  :D :D :D
