Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 Who thought a bus could be so, well, flammable? I think there is a lot of fiberglass panels on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joegriffin1984 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I thought the buses have fire suppression systems in the engine bay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blu Bianco Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Its the second time recently that one of that company's fleet has gone up in smoke. Is their maintenance not upto scratch, are they running them into the ground and overheating them, or were they sold a dud-batch of the model type? Who knows!

tonybonneyba Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Its the second time recently that one of that company's fleet has gone up in smoke. Is their maintenance not upto scratch, are they running them into the ground and overheating them, or were they sold a dud-batch of the model type? Who knows! Considering the pictures all show the same make & model of bus, I think it's how they where built. I hope translinks ones (as metro has loads!) don't go up in flames.

73.River.Roe. Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Reasons why these type of buses go on fire is the B7 Engine runs so hot that if a hydraulic hose splits which happens from time to time it only takes seconds for it to go up 2944 was a casualty to that type of fire and is now scrap.
