I know you have said you cant identify which bus it is, but did you I.D whose it was and what type. That aside, at least everybody got off safely.

This sounds a bit like what happened with 2415 over the water a few months ago.

The bus involved was 2407
Liverpool Echo Article on the incident
The engine is a bit fried but the rest of the bus looks to be fine, apart from a few scorch marks. I'd imagine it'd be saved but it may be a while until it's back on the road.

That was 2412 mate.
The fact that yet another ALX 300 has caught fire raises serious questions about the type's future in service.

I just knew that it was going to be another one of these ALX 300's.

Apart from 2412 and 2407 this morning, are there any other ALX 300s that have caught fire?
