Transdev in the news again for all the wrong reasons -

Hmm...no AMSA to possibly offend with this one, so I wonder if OTSI are investigating?

At this stage apparently not - 

MTF...P2 

PS: Pardon my ignorance but don't they have engine bay fire bottles mandatorily installed on these things?

PART 4 RECOMMENDATIONS

It is recommended that the following safety actions be undertaken by the specified responsible entities.

Bus and coach operators

4.1 Incorporate into their maintenance regime ongoing inspection of fuel lines and high amperage electrical circuits to reduce the risk of fire.

4.2 Review the placement of fire extinguishers within engine bays with a view to extinguishers being readily accessible during emergencies.

4.3 Incorporate into their maintenance regime the periodic cleaning of engine bays to reduce any potential build-up of combustible material.

Transport for New South Wales

4.4 Consideration be given to the inclusion within TfNSW operational accreditation a requirement to include all buses/coaches be fitted with EBFS

Maybe that's why the Chief Investigator has decided not to investigate IE the 'learnings' have already been made..
