(7 hours ago)Rapidsnap wrote ADL Trident / Optare Olympus number 438 looks to have suffered a fire whilst returning empty back to the depot on the A1 at Westerhope Junction this evening. Looking at the video posted, most of the bus looks to be intact and the driver got away from the vehicle safely.
Additionally before certain person / people start running their mouths off. Fires like this can happen to any bus / any operator / any owner. It doesn't mean the fleet is a danger to the public. No doubt a full investigation will be performed into the cause of the fire.
Or you get the uneducated idiots these days that presume every bus is Electric.
