I know its a shame, I bet they will have been on camera so shouldn't be too hard to get them, especially when they most likely live near to the stop

I always wonder what the driver does and if anyone watches where they go, or is it a case of tehm been long gone before the fire takes hold?

It is 4502 I think it be repaired

I'm not so sure, obvious extensive fire & smoke damage upstairs, depends i suppose if there is any damage downstairs.

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
Probably some drug pushing layabout chav on the dole so won't pay a penny. They probably do the same thing to another bus in a few weeks....or mug a granny, Burgle a school, in fact they are probably smoking weed in Dudley bus station about now!

4502 is dumped in a corner of the garage, we went over to have a better look at the fire damage. Quite severe, the rearmost 2 windows are where the fire had chance to spread before it was put out, completely gutted, plus it looks like the fire had broke through the roof as well

Carlyle are repairing 4502, the top deck seats are now at Miller Street.
It was Wilts & Dorset's turn today they lost a Spectra (1679) lots of photos on here
