Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Liverpool Street

They're going on like electric buses would work. That'd be a gimmick.

What about the production of the batteries and the disposal of them? What about the acid inside?

Biofuel is old news. Try to develop a vehicle to run on any flammable liquid, and make sure its stable - that'll be the future.

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

Pretty sure a lot of London Taxis already run on biofuel, it might be "old news" and it might not necessarily be cleaner than normal diesel, but it does the job and uses up waste oils and fats so surely it's a good thing yeah?
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

Kev, you're talking to someone who doesn't believe in climate change. So do you really think I would care about a tub of Flora getting flushed?

Next thing they'll do is run it on sheep piss... oh wait!
