Im sure the 3 56 plates are being withdrawn by the looks of it with Solo SRs replacing them.

Looks like Hybrid E400H 12020 will be out of service for a while after catching fire yesterday afternoon while on a 38 towards Logistics North in Little Hulton.

Damage looks to be confined to the back of the bus looking at photos on Manchester Evening News website:

Considering I've seen worse damage I wonder if 12020 will be sent away to be fixed?

Also what if anything will replace it in the short term?

Quite a few of these have caught fire over the country, must be at least 10 now, there must be some kind of design flaw which causes it I guess. I don't know for certain, but I guess it's maybe something to do with the Hybrid system on these, as you don't see many standard Enviro400s going up in flames (excluding the recent First one in Bristol!). Does anyone know what contributes towards/causes it?
