You'll probably find that there is no seperate heating system in a bus. The heat from the engine would be blown over the passengers when the driver turns the heating on. At least, it is done this way in most cars (apart from the luxury ones). If this is wrong, maybe any bus engineers/drivers will tell me?
One thing I would like to know. Why did the thermostat in the 1.8 litre Sierra my family had two years ago die in a traffic jam on the hottest day of that year? We had to have the heating on to stop the engine overheating, and even with all the windows open, we still didn't get much of a breeze as we were stuck in a traffic jame. I think I must have lost 1/2 stone in wieght in about 10 minutes..
Hang on, that could be Murphy's law (if it can go wrong, it will).
Why am I still up at 2:30am?
