I’d be very surprised if it is fixed but at this rate unfortunately this MMC is a goner
Definitely. Worrying considering how new it is too

Of course your mate was there.my mate who was there has told me it was neds with flares up the back of the top deck
Of course your mate was there.
Also the first thing that comes you all your minds is ... OMG this bus will be a scrapper/write off.
Not one asked if people were hurt - honestly the people on this forum
AFAIK there is a panel on at the top of the stairs opposite the near-side seats that contains a lot of the electrical systems, it ones one of the design features of the MMC to make accessing the electrical system easier IIRC so it could be electrical.

best option is just rebrand 34396Perhaps they’ll order an additional bus in the next order to compensate for the loss.
id assume it will go for scrap after forensics are doneHas it been scrapped aswell.

seen the remains of it and tbh only the upstairs appears to have been destroyed, however it looks similar to Lothians 390 that went on fire at 2 years old and that wasnt repired
yeah, was a flare on it by nedsAppears to have been an arson attack.
On another note anyone seen buses with the colouring for the 3 branding done but not finished yet? Seen a couple on the 2 today already. Are they still bus sharing til the branding on both is fully completed?
Yeah saw a few 2 branded buses also that haven’t been completed. Saw an orange branded on the 2 a few times. Once the branding has been completed they’ll get it sorted. They’re doing it quite fast compared to the 201 which is still waiting for the majority of their buses to have their branding completed.
That’s not why it was scrapped.42886 was with us an few weeks ago and was reported to have gear change issues.
Never said it was due to this, It was reported when it arrived and promptly returned back to Overtown after an few days. The dart's are common for the gearbox to jerk while changing.That’s not why it was scrapped.
201 is still being branded but believe they are struggling to get vehicles off to get it completed. Unfortunately the vinyl being applied is low priority and will be done when the vehicle is able to escape service for the day.Almost forgot about the 201 it's been going on that long tbh. Shame as well as the branding for the 201 is one of the nicer ones

The damage to Lothian's 390 was far more severe and IIRC there was very little left of it when the fire was put out.
