An eyewitness told BlackCountryLive that passengers on board managed to escape the flames, causing around 80 percent damage to the vehicle.

“The incident caused a fire on the upper deck and was 80 percent damaged.
“Two hose reel nozzles and two firefighters with breathing apparatus were used. Everyone on the bus was switched off before our arrival and no one was injured.”
The cause of the fire is currently unknown and it is unknown whether it was started on purpose – but West Midlands Police were also on the scene.
