Same here :) looks like it was on the 7

[John]

Its at the Crossways, junction of College Road/Hawthorn Road. Will have been on the 7 (It will turn left at the road behind the railings, the 28 continues down Short Heath Road in front of the bus)

That one is more than likely arson

Yeah I think your right john, shame as it had just been refurbished whichever one it is.

Not far from where the b7 alx lost its roof either

It looks distinctly more like an arson attack, with the fire started on the rear top deck. The engine compartment looks to be unaffected

There's a picture on the Birmingham Updates Facebook page, looks like it's 4502 on the 7

Also on Twitter from Perry Barr Fire Station https://twitter.com/ade6593/status/409336209358352385

Additionally, it is confirmed as being treated as Arson on the BBC Birmingham 'local live' feed.

Its also lucky that Perry Barr Fire Station is right over the road from this location (behind the photographer), or it might have been a whole lot worse.

4777 is also off the road, looks like it has a small engine fire, dumped at the back of the garage earlier this week

Would it be likely for 4502 to return to service? Or even if it might be repaired?

Very lucky indeed, did wonder that when I saw the photo, bet it caused some interesting chaos closing that junction (or did they just close Perry Common road?)

It is 4502 I think it be repaired

[nx4737]

I'm no expert, but that's clearly Arson...

Sc*m.

[The Real 4778]

Absolutely - in fact scum is putting it very mildly indeed.

Fingers cross that they've been caught on camera & get prosecuted/have to pay the repair bill
