Getting to be a monotonously regular thing. Insurers and fire brigades won’t need telling that. What about the travelling public? Hard to tell from the footage which type of e-bus it was, so may or may not be like the one pictured here. [Update: A BBC report shows pictures of some buses that appear similar to the one pictured and says up to seven may be on fire].

FIVE electric double decker buses have exploded at the Potters Bar Bus Garage near London, reports the Daily Express.
Video footage posted on line shows flames and thick black smoke billowing skywards from the garage in the High Street, as by-standers watch on in horror.
Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service said six fire engines had been sent to the scene. The fire brigade urged the public to avoid the area and said the emergency could last for a “long time”.
