Think the single decker is a B6BLE, the wheels look too small for a B10BLE.  I think Bath has 7 ex First York examples, 40588-94.  Not been a good few weeks for bus fires!

Yep... sorry :( It was one of the S...SUX ex HK ones I think

On a definite positive note for First West of England James Freeman is moving over from Reading Buses to take charge!

No strictly an incident, but saves starting a new topic  ;)
