Given that Citaros are used in very large numbers throughout Germany,
you'd think this sort of thing would have been ironed out. Has the
modification for right-hand drive perhaps put something hot next to
something flammable that isn't the case in the normal LHD model?


Apparently the German ones are just as fire happy as the London
versions. It seems to be a Citaro thing.


Did anybody on this side of the Channel bother to check these things
before a deal was signed?
