I suspect that they will be recycled. Swansea has had a number of
second-hand bendy buses imposed upon it - no idea where they came
from. thjey all have personalised number plates to hide the fact from
the morons in the council that they are rejects.
They were initially planned torun as far as Mumbles, but then it was
discovered that it was impossible for them to turn around to make the
return journey!


Then I'd call that a proposal rather than a plan.


No, it was a plan - the council wanted something to replace the
Mumbles Railway and came up with a bendybus route to the village.
However, due to the incompetence of both the councillors and the
traffic planners. We are talking about a council who designated one of
the busiest streets in Swansea as a pedestrian area - excellent -
except for the double decker buses that were permitted to share it.
