Massive fire at Kev's last night not a good sight but there no Services today or Monday.
Also devastating as they have invested in new vehicles as well

Just saw this terrible news on twitter.Absolutely devastating for the owners and staff.Hope they can get back up and running at some point a great and well respected local company.

Thats a terrible picture. At least nobody was hurt, but something like that could easily put a company out of business. Hopefully they'll pull through.

They have released a statement that said all but one of their buses were destroyed, and thanking other operators in the area for stepping in to help.

'All but one' means that 21 buses were destroyed; just hope that owners Wendy and Kevin Nind are able keep the company going and come out stronger as a result of this horrific fire.

Solo YJ62FYZ was the only survivor . As documented elsewhere , 3 new E200's have joined the fleet along with 8 second hand ones. A number of ex "West Midlands" Volvo single deckers have also been borrowed from The Green Bus. . I'm sure that lots of hard work has gone in to keeping services running. Well done !
