That looks like it went up well also similar to the Milton Keynes one

One of my friends showed me this when I was telling everyone about Redline. It looks like a conventional fire though, not an actual explosion like we saw in CMK.

I know absolutely nothing about this operator so others can tell me if they're anything as bad as Redline or if this is just an isolated incident.

That bus looks in better condition than some of the heaps that operate in Cheshunt and Broxbourne!

Bus belongs to Express Motors and rather worryingly they had a similar incident last year http://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/school-bus-gutted-fire-eight-2642430

I can't tell what the vehicle is in the more recent incident but I seem to recall that the MAN/MCV Evolution is prone to spontaneous combustion?

Looking at what fleet they have I think the most recent incident involved would be either an Optare Excel or a Dennis Dart SLF.

It's believed to be P854 SMR, an ALX200 bodied Volvo B6LE.

It's an old Stagecoach Midland Red bus, picture above.
