Default Where will the bendy buses go?

My own theory is that most of them will sit in yards and decay. The big
problem is the third door in the rear section. All other bendies -
apart possibly from those on the Eden project shuttle - are two doored
because there is no open boarding elsewhere in the UK.


I assume they could be locked out of use. But as the Citaro can be
ordered in a single-door or dual-door bendy form, I suspect it'll just
be a module swap of some sort.

The other potential market for them is airports, where the 3 doors may
prove an advantage.
