And a 3rd one tonight. A YW Trident has gone up in flames on Wychall Lane near St Thomas Aquinas School. It's an upper deck fire again.

I've also heard 6131 was also set on fire yesterday on the Outer Circle, although the driver managed to put it out apparently.

Edwards (Nat Ex) Boa Vista BU18OTB was involved in a smash on the M32 earlier today. A Bristol City Council pick-up style van cut the coach up in a bus lane, damaging the front exterior and interior of the coach.

Driver of a First Bristol B9TL decided he'd rather be workin' at the car wash...

My assumption is that he got mixed up between the 48 & 49 routes (49 turns off just before here) and he was trying to spin around to get back, but chose the worst possible place to do so.

Looks like he was trying to split First UK Bus...
