Didn't realise the N21s had a display update.

Was there any particular fault with the mechanism of the bendy-buses? I thought the Citaros used the same engines in either case so therefore wouldn't be a specific issue to bendy buses. I'm uninformed.

When going around corners, stopping/starting etc, trained mice were there to operate the accordion and press the relevant keys.
However, mice being mice - they got up to mischief and chewed through one electrical wire too many.

This fleet bendy Mercs needed a load more than three blind mice.
