(04 Mar 2014, 10:53 am)Washingtonian wrote Washington cadet NA52 BVF has suffered an engine fire at Biddick Village centre this morning. I saw 2 fire engines on the scene but no ambulances, so it looks as if no one has been hurt, thank God. fLooks like it is only the rear of the vehicle which has suffered damage. Destination screen, rear window, panels etc are burned to a crisp. As much as these buses look nice and are comfortable etc, they either need new engines or withdrawn for good. I always seem to hear drivers talking about problems with them and warning lights coming on etc.
I was on that last year and the dashboard looked like a Christmas tree.
Not sure if it was connected, but whichever Cadets were on the M2/M3 this morning weren't running to their scheduled timetable.
Saw one heading up towards Vigo Bridge from Birtley a few mins after seeing one head into Vigo from Birtley.
