Looks like a Pulsar has gone up in flames. 
Possibly connected to the problems in Stockton earlier.

Did you manage to get a fleet number or anything.

Where was this heading

It's from a colleague. 

I 'think' it's the road to Ingleby Barwick that crosses over the A66 and the bus is heading on to the A66.

Looks like it is that junction but can't imagine it would be today, surely they would've went into Stockton depot and that has just drove straight past it and is turning towards Darlington?

Wonder if it might be whatever this bus is - https://northeastbuses.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?tid=4560&pid=312087#pid312087

I saw it being transported by Alpha northbound on the A189 so I guess it was heading to their compound nearby. It was one of the Frquenta examples. it was in an absolute state, with possible fire damage and exterior panels missing and interior fittings being partially ripped off. I had assumed it might have been caught up in the riots tbh.

I gather it’s just the remains of accident damaged 1494 being taken away from Stockton for scrap. Very heavily stripped, not much left of it

I don't know if it ever went to scrap but wonder if this might be 1494? Looking at the accident damage it looks quite similar to the photo above. I'm not sure where it's been for 18 month though.

It's the only Frequenta Pulsar which has been wrote off, as far as I'm aware.

Edit: Someone beat me by seconds.

That answers it, thankfully it was not involved in the unrest.

Yeah it wouldn't have missing panels and parts of the interior removed if it was the riots.

Aye, the photo was taken earlier today.

Apologies wasn't clear, I meant if it was damaged in Stockton rather than the photo. Didn't doubt that dw.

What the hell happened to 6178

Pouf! And it's gone!

A little vague but I suspect there was much eyerolling, muttering and looking at watches while this played out.

In the absence of a bus stop incidents thread, this will have to do.

You know, I thought of you when I read that line.

I tell you. NEB knew about these pesky wing mirrors before it became commonplace in the press.

A very cautious driver stopped to adjust the wing mirror on our X21, this afternoon.

6159 seems to of crashed in to a van at the bottom of Chester Road on the massive junction (where u come from Green Terrace)
