News report on Central News tonight (5th Jan) about a bus that veered off the road in Worcester whilst trying to drive through floodwater. Passengers were helped off by emergency services. The registration was blurred out,but the company logo and fleet number were visible.

There was an 'arson incident' on an 11A on Boxing Day, and Safer Travel revealed an image of the suspect:

QuoteWe want to speak to them after a fire caused damage to a double decker bus in the Kings Heath area on Boxing Day.

We are keen to trace a passenger who boarded the 11a bus at around 1.50pm near to Kings Heath High Street, getting off a short while later near Swanshurst Park. The fire was extinguished by another passenger.
My emphasis in bold.

Meanwhile the local news rag Birmingham Live have managed to spin this out to insinuate the bus was 'torched' and 'set alight':

Double-decker torched in Kings Heath on iconic 11 route – CCTV appeal

QuotePolice are looking to trace a passenger after a double-decker bus was set alight in Birmingham. The arson attack took place on the city's National Express West Midlands circular 11A bus route in the south of the city on Boxing Day.

Just photographed quite a few of Potters Bar's so looks like a local decision not a TfL one
