The top of Telegraph Hill was shaken by a loud bang at around 8:15 this morning as a 343 double decker bus caught fire and exploded on Pepys Road. A car parked next to it was also destroyed by fire. The incident happened at the bus stop next to St Catherine's Church, by Haberdasher Aske's school (top site).
Fire engines, police and ambulances were on site, but it seems that nobody was injured. Speculation at the scene was that an electrical fault was to blame, but the fire investigation team is now on site to explore the cause.
