Garage bus fires

[John]

532 suffered an electrical fire at WB in October 2003 and was scrapped.

Thanks for that. I knew it was quite early, but not sure where and how it was scrapped  :)

4336 was a great bus when at YW, had a unique whistle that I've never heard on any other trident since :(

I remember 1628 had a minor fire at Pensnett on a busy 244 early this year

Metrobus 2930 (WA or PB) was gutted by fire I think - arson damage? 3027 left the fleet with fire damage around the same time (2000) but was repaired eventually.

2954, did it re enter service refurbed as an ordinary bus and have the orange interior panels repainted standard metrobus cream?
