Electric bus catches fire -
They've taken the rest off the road now.

Interesting, they don't seem to take the rest of the fleet off the road if it's a diesel bus that catches fire!

I guess it depends on whether there's a suspicion of some kind of inherent problem with the type. Diesels are well known, so the cause of a fire is likely to be understood, whereas the new technology of an electric vehicle may indicate a hitherto hidden design problem.

Don't suppose anyone knows where I can find the total number of buses that TfL operate? Latest figure I can find was last March (8,643)

I always think londonbusroutes.net is a pretty good site as they have a breakdown of buses per garage and operator, and a page all about Operational Details of each service
