    Yikes - my neighbour works for them as well as a good friend (old neighbour) - but the driver is neither of them for sure! Any idea what caused the fire?

    That is just awful Woo!
    I'm so glad that you and yours didn't suffer as a result of that.
    In another world I was the nurse in charge of casualty (accident and emergency) and saw at first hand what that stuff was about for the people involved.
    I can't pray, but please just let everybody be allright.

    I think you are right there Caps there must be a serious problem with that type of bus if that is the third one in a month.Pehaps they are waiting for there to be a serious burn of a passenger problem before something is done about it:scratch:

    Hi everyone ,Robert and Kandy,I can assure you that the company concerned are dealing with this problem and have withdrawn the said Buses to investigate and solve the Problem.:cool:

    Kindred that's not me ,that's a close relative of mine who saw the fire as he flew overhead and decided to have a short rest before visiting me:hehe:

    This is Yours truly:lollol::rotfl:
