Any ideas what operator / vehicle was involved in this... drawing a blank from bustimes

Unfortunately, it appears to be our very own @Tony - well, his dedicated bus 4679 at least....

Bad fire at Kevs coaches last night, at least five vehicles destroyed. Many services will not run today.

That explains that tweet I saw yesterday!

Wouldn't TfWm step in with an emergency contract, even if it was for a couple of days, as it said in the tweet?

From what I have seen on Facebook, it appears that 4569 has been destroyed by fire!
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

ALX400s have quite some terrible luck, so many of them have caught fire.

Thankfully nobody was hurt!
