I use one of these services the electric buses are a lot more quieter and smoother. Shame.
Per the article, the fire took place in a depot. No passengers were at risk.
> as the vehicles involved included these electric buses which have been grounded, it is understood that a charging or battery error may have been to blame
We’ll find out more in due course (there’ll be an inquiry: this fire probably wrote off over a million quid’s worth of vehicles), but it’s possible the cause was an external charger fault rather than a design flaw of the buses.
