One of Wrexham's MPDs has gone up in flames just down the road from me this afternoon (Not like I had any idea):

No idea which it is, will try and work it out from the images!

EDIT: Looks like one of the X2** JOF batch (I would say either 861 or 863)

Bus fires seem to be on the rise lately as years ago it was hardly ever heard when the nationals,olympians and atlanteans graced the streets.

Doesn't that just say it all about the quality of the buses of today.

I think that it's down to how they're maintained - budgets tend to be tight these days, which must be affecting maintenance somehow (for example - not enough money to fix small problems, which then lead into bigger problems).

To be honest, I also think it is down to things being more complex and electrical than they used to be, there are more things to go wrong.

Apparently it was an electrical fault which caused the fire:
