216 bus fire.

Just got into work and this enviro has just been towed in. It was on a 216 this morning at grey mare lane heading into manchester at 830 when an engine fire started. First thoughts are electrical but i wouldn't like to have been sat on the back seat when it went up. This will have to be sent off to dennis now for a full overhaul but it's repairable. The driver of this bus and the one behind both tried to tackle the fire but the fire brigade put it out when they turned up as the flames where too high.

  1. Seems like Ashton Depot arent having much look with buses lately what with the MAN deciding it wanted to put a bet on at the bookies and now this incident with Enviro 19006, wonder whether this makes Ashton short of vehicles

  2. This enviro is 19084. Its not bad luck it's just put in the spotlight through the media due to the serverity of the incidents. The Man bus issue was a terrible accident which i chose not to write about due to the closeness of the incident at a time where investigations are ongoing.
