Hello, everyone.

Here is the thread for bus accidents/incidents. It would be better to post in here rather than posting in the respected garages or making new topics. It can be a fire incident or a crash, etc.

So, I will start with one.

Here is a bus incident with a shooting.

Going by the titles of the reports, one is a coach and one is a bus :P

Interesting, a year apart, but it seems a very similar fire  ::) ::)

Surely it wouldn't take long for the LFB to get there, yet the bus is totally in flames? mmm  ::) ::)

Personally I think all of these recent fires have been due to the current heat spell we're having! :-)

Good job buses don't operate in hot countries isn't it?

Except of course any Arriva fire victims. They would naturally be down to poor maintenance while everybody else's would be pure flooks.

Strangely enough, I can't recall their last one? I'm sure somebody will fill us in though.

Arriva Northeast have lost an Enviro 400 and one of those Temsa things, but that serves them right for buying those.

No, if that was the case there would be no buses left in hot countries! Obviously the buses haven't been prepared properly for the hot weather!

That's total bollocks. They leave the garage every morning with a full tank of Coolant, if a hydraulic pipe burst and the fluid hit directly onto the engine/gearbox block, then you'd expect fires. Just as likely to happen in the coolness of November then in the heat of June.

So tell me, how do you "prepare" a bus for hot weather? Drive with the engine door open? Hmm....

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.
