Bus set on fire!

[Ade4265 10]

While I was on the 58 Stagecoach Bus traveling through Stocksbridge a

few hours ago, a man suddenly leaped from the back of the bus and said the bus

was on fire. When we all got off the bus, there was thick smoke pouring from the back,

I presumably the smoke was coming from the bus engine.

That was quite a terrifying experience.

It must have been - but at least everyone got off ok. Did they send you another bus, or did you have to wait and get on the next one?

I just walked home. He stopped the bus near the Junior School.

As Stagecoach buses seem to have the bloody heating on all summer, I'm not surprised that eventually the buses and their systems have had enough

Since when has the breaking down of a bus been a 'terrifying experience'

I expected that vandals had set the bus on fire from the title of the thread.

Glad it wasn't and was a mechanical issue by the sounds of it and everyone is ok who was on the bus.

I expect the next one would arrive first depending on the traffic at the time
