ISTM pretty normal for a commercial vehicle which carries a load of diesel.

Smart driver there - your bus catches fire so pull off the road and park it
next to someones house. A real rocket scientist that bus company has working
for them.


Unless it was deliberate, Looking up and down the road on streetview
it looks a fairly deprived area and the house looks like part of the
adjoining nail bar,hair dresser style business an overcrowded market
for many young women attemptong to make a living.
That part of Scotland has a long history of protection rackets.


There are probably much easier ways to intimidate people than nicking or
hijacking a bus to burn it next to their property.
