Bus fire in Charlton
A bus has caught alight in Charlton tonight causing disruption to services.
According to a witness the “bus pulled up on Charlton Road at 6.20pm and driver ran out shouting for everyone to follow. He attempted a fire extinguisher but got out of control. It looks like an engine fire.”
Traffic is heavy in the area along Charlton Road, with possible disruption to bus routes 53, 54 and 422.
