Update - cctv camera portays bus as green!
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/uk-england-kent-44316326&ved=0ahUKEwiVmvuwmrDbAhVFwlkKHUkbB9AQiJQBCB8wAA&usg=AOvVaw1lVVG4rdTRdwDBVrHXaKo6&ampcf=1

The CCTV colour reproduction seems to have been confused by Arriva's Sapphire livery - bright lime green front and very greeny sort of dark blue for the rest of the bus. Their new standard blue is also quite an odd colour (extremely vivid and bright).

Minor update - it was the bus driver who was arrested, and 16 people were injured.

Current 'special passenger validation' permit held.

On central news just, while filming live you can see a NXC Trident been towed down the M6, looked like had been crashed into.

I think 4236 has caught fire because of the engine. according to http://skycam.sandwell.ac.uk/cgi-bin/guestimage.html

What are you talking about?

4236 certainly hasn't caught fire today

Smoke coming out of exhaust from the back

How can you tell that was 4236? :o Tried to zoom in, it's just a B7 ALX to me.

Black coming out of the exhaust does not mean it has caught fire. I would be surprised if it was 4236 as that has an exhaust trap fitted, more likely one of the unfitted ones black smoking

That's one of the Metrocity's, not a Versa.
