RE: Arriva North East
An Arriva Scania Omnicity caught fire today at Corbridge bridge - one Jesmonds 05 reg (cream front) that usually operate the 685?

"The blaze is thought to have started in a rear wheel arch of the Arriva service as it approached the roundabout on the south side of Corbridge bridge.

A spokesman for Northumberland fire and rescue service said the driver raised the alarm at 12.40pm and any passengers were off the vehicle when fire crews from Hexham and Tyne and Wear arrived at the scene.

Passersby reported hearing a loud bang as the heat caused one of the rear tyres to explode.

More details as we get them.

Rear offside wheel. Lot of fire damage along the offside from the rear corner to the front wheel. End of the road for it?
