As I came out of work today in the lovely sunny weather I saw a rather large cloud of black smoke ahead of me, as I contemplated what may have gone up and why is it that you only have to get a days sunshine in this country and something catches fire I realised that the fire was in the general direction that I was heading.
Yep when I got to Goldshill the back end of Hill Top, West Bromwich I saw a police car blocking the road I was going to have travelled down and a large crowd watching.
Because I was in no hurry I thought I'd get a couple of snaps; the fire was mainly doused by this time but the smouldering remains of what had been a double decker bus and the coach next to it explained the reason for the black smoke.

Re: Hot Bus
Reading my local paper the following night the fire was caused by an electrical fault on one of the buses, there was also a third bus destroyed that was not visible from where I took the photos.
