that was some fire lol! it makes you realise how lucky the staff on board were to pull over a jump ship. I wonder what caused it? on the up side, considering how well burnst it is, it has managed to keep its rigidity and only looks buckled on the nearside slightly from the pics posted by above member. i suppose next stop is investigation, then scrap.

No it isn't! Its a YW bus...

I think he means it was recovered to BC from Sparkbrook.

No Nathan, he means it has been towed to BC after its recent pyrotechnics.

It'll probably be a PVS bus in a week or two!

I thought the problems with the later Mercs with regard to catching fire were supposed to have been solved.

Question: Is it safe to board a later Merc?

Aahh, i have to catch the 25A, almost exclusively, at least when i catch it, a 16XX Merc!!

I loved driving the Merc's,they were much nicer to drive than a B6 when I was at West Brom
