The X30 caught fire in Kenilworth Road yesterday
PASSENGERS on this bus through Cumnor finished their journey with a bang.
The X30 caught fire in Kenilworth Road yesterday at 1.37pm and two fire engines were called to the scene.
Firefighters put out the blaze in the engine of the single-decker bus and all the passengers were accounted for with no injuries.
Kenilworth Road resident Brian Adams, 67, captured the drama on his camera.
He said: “The bus stopped at the stop and then some smoke started coming out of it followed by sparks.
“Very quickly it was engulfed in flames.”
