Just to confirm there was no fire, and is no fire damage, just sticking brakes which is currently being fixed. The bus is not withdrawn.

Typical desktop reporting quality by the CT. I guess CT just lifts info from emergency services feeds and not doing any research?

That is sadly typical of all Reach group publications, same as Birmingham Mail.

The actual article is based around a couple of 'tweets', which clearly say it was only a 'small fire' on the brakes (probably a seized overheating caliper), yet the headline and first paragraphs make out the whole bus was on fire.
