Saw the scene of the accident myself when I went into Leicester yesterday morning.

The congestion on Burleys Way was bad enough without all the buses normally using Belgrave Gate being funneled through there and the surrounding streets.

Sadly I have to report another bus fire,this one being Arriva London hybrid HV76 of Palmers Green. It was running out of service on the North Circular Road returning home when its rear end was BBQ'd. Given its age it is safe to assume it will be withdrawn.
Don't judge me until you've walked in my size ten shoes.

And of course, people in the comments of posts on Facebook were all going, "It's an electric bus, it's an electric bus"... 🤦🏽

Considering electric buses are some of the most reliable buses, they clearly have no clue

Plenty were. I initially thought it was a diesel one, given reports initially suggested it was a 221 which Wood Green run.
