First Bradford bus fire

[Burnside]

A First Bradford bus suffered fire damage this morning while working service 616

Passengers had to be evacuated from a First bus between Wilsden and Sandy Lane earlier today after it caught fire.

The driver of the 616 service radioed for help and firefighters from Shipley attended to make it safe.

It happened at 7.35am - no-one was hurt.

The blaze was in the engine compartment area, said an eye-witness.

Anyone know which vehicle was involved?

Another Gemini in flames today, can't tell which it is as the photo isn't awfully good but it does look as if it's got the Bradford fleetname so presume it was on the X6.

Probably be a single decker normal fare for the 616, If things were not bad enough for Bradford depot bus shortages, buses being cancelled, industrial action and now TWO fires in ONE day think it is time for the management team should be replaced

The 616 fire was just over a year ago.
