Quote from: Steve3229vp on October 16, 2024, 11:28:19 AMThe B7's and E200MMC's are a lot more comfortable.
E200MMCs are just as crammed as Scania's when you go further back.

Looks like 2220 is confirmed withdrawn nothing left of it apart from the shell, anyone know weather this was arson or a genuine electrical or engine fire?

I think coolant leaked into the electrics from what I have seen in comments on posts about it

What people have been saying is coolant leaked into the electrics but until and if confirmed we won't know for sure

Chelmsley Wood... half-term holiday... I know what I'd put money on...

(That is my opinion, based on numerous reports of anti-social behaviour in that area, before anyone sees my comment as an excuse to start arguing about 'rough areas')

Hopefully it was just an unfortunate accident.

From the bus fires I've seen over these past few years, a notable chunk of them are from the E200 MMC bus type. Perhaps this bus type is more prone to bus fires like the euro 3 tridents or optare solos are.

Where are all these E200MMCs you've seen on fire? They don't seem that common to me recently

I have to agree with you here. I haven't seen many or actually seen any at all this is probably the first I've saw of a E200MMC anyway.

The only recent ish one I know of is Chaseriders 2 which was put out very quickly by the driver hence it's still in service but that is the only one I know of in a while
