Bus fire in Manor Park Sheffield, 13/10/15

[JHAYDN 10]

As a bus enthusiast, I was horrified to hear about a bus fire in the Manor Park area of Sheffield earlier this evening. Does anyone know what fleet number this was? Hope it wasn't one of the new Streetlites!

Sadly the scroats that did it came away unscathed.

What do you mean? Did you want them to burn or something?

Could have been a terrorist attack

Could have been a terrorist attack

 

Could have been a sixteen year old bus with knackered electrics.

strange how so many buses owned by First seem to have met their end with flames over recent weeks.

 

Maintenance not followed correctly or just coincidence?

or someone with an iPhone it was said there was smoke and later an explosion followed.

 

Still these busses in Sheffield are nowhere near as bad as some of them in Barnsley, was on one last week that shaked so bad it was like a monstrous big vibrator.

Enough for them to learn their lesson but not enough for lasting injury ideally....

Don't most busses have CCTV on them now ??
