I think we're safe to say that's not getting repaired. At least no one was injured

Has it caused any disruption to services, as there are other buses stuck behind? Or are those not needed on a Sunday

Quite amusing is the fact that Nathan reported this on the forum at 10:15 and the Express and Star said the inferno was thought to have broken out at around 10:45.

@John No disruptions. Just a couple of noteworthy workings ;) (5401 on the 2, 2021 and 529 branded 4604 on 59)

Express And Star are known for getting their facts wrong. I was sent photos (i've been asked not to share them) well before 10:45. I was sent photos about 5 mins before and Firefighters were already in attendance.

I must praise the quick thinking staff for moving buses to safety.

You were asked not to share photos, yet one appears on the E & S website.

Im missing something here.

Lucky the fire didn't spread to other vehicles.

Because obviously @Nathan has a friend who works at Wolvo garage and who has obviously sent him some 'up close' better pictures than the E&S ones and obviously his friend has told Nathan not to share them which I can understand

Those photos are from the 'Fallings Park Fire' twitter account. Nathans photos are different to the ones in the article.

Also seemed to rectify the time from 9.45am to "around 9am"
Check out my photos on Flickr & Instagram

My generic predictions. Not wishing to tempt fate but there's always a few these days.
