Electric Buses on Fire after Huge Explosion at London Transport Depot
At least six buses caught fire in London after reports of a huge explosion at a transport depot.
Video showed an inferno engulfing a number of vehicles at the Metroline bus garage earlier today.
Eyewitness told that he had heard an ‘unbelievable noise that sounded like a jet’, adding that he saw a bus explode ‘into a ball of flames’.
Reports suggest no injuries have been confirmed so far – amid suggestions that the incident could have been far worse.
The fire was extremely close to fuel lines that could have caused further explosions.
The cause of the fire was from the charge pack (this charges the electric buses) blast and as a result six buses caught fire
Where the buses were parked at the rear of the garage it was VERY close to the fuel lines where buses are refuelled each evening.’
Footage showed fire fighters battling flames and a huge plume of black smoke, with later pictures showing gutted buses.
