BUS ON FIRE AT CLATTERBRIDGE ROUNDABOUT
Published November 22, 2011 | By Editor

Patients travelling for treatment at Clatterbridge Hospital this morning found their journey disrupted when a single decker bus caught fire at the Clatterbridge roundabout

The incident happened at around a quarter past seven and the flames spread quickly through the bus causing major problems for road users

The road to Willaston has been closed off while the bus is removed from the carriageway.

it happened inbetween the volvo garage and claire house in the lap by outside the old entrance to Clatterbridge hospital. i was going past it into work at 8.15 and the fire engines were just going and the tow truck just pulling up. traffic was backed up to the roundabout were the cricket club is. was mayhem

Must have been a 487 then, Liverpool to Neston.

Yep, used to drive that route for Arriva way back! Was a bitch too, have you seen the turning circle at Parkgate (its final destination), its narrow to say the least!!! Bus is 40ft long, forgot the model name!

VDL SB120 and DAF SB200 (must get out more )

Oh dear Wench. Perving planes is "almost" socially accetable. Now you're into modern buses. Mmmmmmm ????? I guess anything goes these days eh ?

Your secret is safe on wiki I guess.

I googled it Pinz - I'm not THAT sad How's your sexy beastie doing?

OK. You're forgiven J. You can get all sorts of stuff off Google. Trouble is, you can go blind ! erm... oops...

The Black Beast is going fine thanks. MOT tomorrow morning. It's only 38yrs old now - what can go wrong ??????? Cough/splutter. I hope it passes as I'm off to a remote bothy in the hills in it until Sunday, straight after the MOT. A lot of it is off road so the boys in blue shouldn't be around. (Tut)

Very jealous! Have fun enjoy The Beast,she'll fly through her MOT.

Can I come with please Pinz I'll catch, kill and cook

I hope she passes

Just remembered....its a Dennis Dart!! The longest one Arriva has!!

I bet even after the fire, the bus was still in better condition than anything Crosville have in Rock Ferry. Some truly horrific buses there.
