Should be Conservative not Preservative...
Moreover there have been complaints about the Bendis by some Londoners, most probably

sorry, my typo, thanks for correction~
would wonder if they are all Enviro Bendi~
Actually, no. Not counting bodywork, just under half of the London fleet are not built in Britain - Vast majority of the Volvos and all Scanias are built in Sweden or Poland, for instance.
The current plan is yes. Apart from the Citaros that S3N92 mentioned to convert the Red Arrow services, the 38 is also due for conversion back to double deckers later this year.
The conversion to bendy buses few years ago has results in loads of £ spent on highway modification to make London's roads and bus stop suitable for them; and now back to zero........
These Citaro Gs and those O 405Gs are definitely 2 class / era of product.
In terms of riding quality, Citaro Gs are definitely better.
But in terms of maintenance, O 405G should be better. But I am still puzzled why those London Citaro Gs could ignite themselves while those in other countries did not.
BTW, would Glasgow be a possible destination for these Citaro Gs?
