Re: Yes; ANOTHER gas bus fire!

One of my sources has informed me, that the problem has been found and rectified. I'm not going to say anymore just yet... We'll wait and see if there are any more problems in the near future first.

Re: Bus fire

Volvo's and legroom? You must be joking? :oops: I'd have no issues standing next to the 7 gas tanks during a bus fire. Simple fact is, they are designed to be able to withstand pretty much anything.
